I am often told that I talk too fast. Sometimes I stutter a bit as well.
Dose anyone else have speech issues?

People tell me I talk too fast and stutter, ... and they're right. Also I have trouble pronouncing my R's.

I sound quite masculine, for a woman. It doesn't bother me. If I sounded like the women in my area, people would expect me, to act like a North American NT female, of my age group. The most shallow of all.

People tell me that I talk a little slow and slightly monotonous. However, my speed is a major improvement compared to how I was like at the age of 12, before speech therapy. I used to drag out every syllable in every word, and I wasn't even aware of doing that until my classmates started making fun of me. I think my voice also might be a tad bit deep for a female's, too. Also, it's still hard for me to talk with the right volume according to the appropriate situation from time to time.

I had lots of speech problems when I was in school; I was in speeach therapy sense I started school till I went to high-school. I was still eligible to receive it when I started HS but I would of had to go to school down the road. I had lots of problems pronouncing S, TH sounds ect. It's not really bad nowadays but I also have a tremor disorder that can affect my voice when I'm nervous, I sometimes slure, & my voice fluctuates. It was much worse when I was on meds cuz they kept drying it out. I also have better than average hearing & people sometimes say I'm mumbling when I think I'm talking in a normal volume. I also don't make eye contact & stuff partly cuz of the AS & that also makes it harder for people to understand me.

My ASish boyfriend frequently complains that he can never understand what I am saying as I frequently speak to him in a funny sort of baby-ish sing-song dialect to get the words out,not understanding that they come out sounding all jumbled up and incomprehensible...

I repeat myself a lot and am prone to become distracted and thrown off-course mid-sentence...and I do also stutter and repeat words and syllables a lot of the time and use the word "um" an awful lot...

If I speak too quickly, I can't be understood..if I speak too slowly I lose my train of thought...

I had to go to speech thearpy from first grade all the way to fifth grade. I mumbled and had a real thick accent because my parents were from West Virginia. They would have kept me in speech thearpy in the sixth grade but I kept complaining that I needed to work on my math skills not my ability to speak well. I speak well now but I am horrible in math. :roll:

When I get nervous my voice trembles and I stutter a bit, and I tend to talk without pausing until I run out of breath. I have problems pronouncing my r's, too.

When I was young, I tended to speak softly, in a monotone and I mumbled. After I started doing theatre and teaching, I began speaking too loudly and overly distinct, although still monotone. I stutter terribly if I am at all emotional... and I have trouble with Rs too.

I stutter a lot. Always have. I wonder if that's a motor clumsiness thing, because I understand that speaking requires a great deal of motor coordination.

I only stutter a little bit when i get extremely anxious. I think i speak pretty well, for the most part. I have been accused of being monotone at times, and then when i get really into a topic i can start talking fast. I've also often been accused of not talking loud enough at times, and sometimes of mumbling.

Yes. I tend to talk too fast or talk very disjointedly. I'm okay when I confine myself to single sentences. :)

People I stutter and talk too loud, and that I also talk in a very proper kind of way if you know what I mean.

I'm exactly the same but never hardly realize I was doing it and I also stutter the exact same way too.
I did have speech delay when I was a little kid, never learned how to talk until I was 3 and a half. :lol:
