Al is a seventh grader who loves to talk to people. He often approaches other students and abruptly starts talking about his computer game collection. When the child takes a turn in the conversation (e.g., "I've got a computer game collection too!"), Al does not seem to hear and continues to talk about his own collection. He includes a lot of detail about specific computer games and does not seem to notice when his conversational partner gets bored or walks away. Al has difficulty with:


◦ content.
◦ pragmatics.
◦ form.
◦ semantics.
