Reply to comment by Foxs-In-A-Trenchcoat in How the mother's mood influences her baby's ability to speak. Scientists found even children whose mothers suffer from mild depressive mood that do not yet require medical treatment show early signs of delayed language development. by Wagamaga

How did that work out for you? Did you catch up or forever suffer in education for it?

My IQ was high enough I did well in school, and have two college degrees. I always had trouble talking though, and I have slower processing speed listening to people talking. Most people don't notice.

I also relate heavily, I didn't really start talking until I was 5 and it was really bad, resulting in years of speech therapy to be barely understandable. Finally my senior year of high school, I got on an instant messenger with new internet friends who annoyed me into learning English (they'd correct everything I wrote). Thankfully my IQ was high enough to learn, otherwise I probably still wouldn't be able to communicate effectively.
