I was thinking the same. My son is extremely intelligent
and has excellent rote memory skills. Although his verbal skills were exceptional at a very early age, he would sometimes make statements in question form using the wrong pronoun. Instead of "May I have a cookie?", he would say, "Do you want a cookie?" If you are noticing other things like poor motor skills, poor social skills, poor eye-contact, etc., you may want to suggest the parent run your concerns by their pediatrician.
