Thanks for taking the time to look this up, this is immediately what I thought of as well. Maybe it just speaks to my own ignorance, but I found his whole public discussion (he regularly blogged about it) of his language issue incredibly fascinating: he could speak at public events, but not one on one, he had some success with 'singing' words but he couldn't emit them if spoken, etc.

I don't think the underlying cause is the same, but I've developed the inability to write certain letters and numbers, or at least not without a lot of effort. Particularly M, N, S, W and 8. My brain knows how to form the letter, but my fingers won't make the motions. Usually I have to move the pencil back and forth in a line 6 or 7 times before the rest of the letter forms. It's kind of embarrassing when someone is watching my sign my name since it starts with an M. I have no idea where this came from, but it hasn't always been the case.

  At that point, one generally consults a specialist. In this case: please go see a doctor!
