 |
|
A lot of the time, when I don't think about what I'm going to say beforehand and just start talking, I realize I come up with what I want to say faster then I can get it out and my mouth tries to catch up. This often results in severely slurred speech. I was just wondering if anyone else has this trouble?

Yes, when I'm excited I often get my tongue wrapped around my eyeteeth and can't see what I'm saying.

| Yeah, and my mouth doesn't express my brain articulately enough, either. I find this supremely frustrating. People regard me as less intelligent than I am simply because my verbal skills aren't up to the same level as my brain. |

What about your writing skills? They seem up to snuff.

Oh gods yes this happens to me every day, and it ends up making me stutter and or slur as everything tries to come out at once. I find it to be somewhat embarassing.

yes all the time. i can control it for a while but not long.
by the end of september we have a meeting. people from the research project i work in. i communicate with most of them by email and now i am supposed to talk to them. thats going to be tough two days to control my speech. they have a high opinion of me so far and i am afraid i might spoil it.

I have this problem too, especially when I get asked something unexpected. I can think better then I speak, and a lot of times I don't like to speak as its hard. |

My problem is that my brain seems to work more slowly than people expect in conversations. It takes a moment for it to get into gear, but nobody wants to wait for an answer. It's partly because I often don't really hear the words that people are saying straight off: I hear sounds which I have to play back in my head and work into words. So I have got into the habit of saying "yeah, I see" or whatever, automatically, when I haven't even digested what the person said. It's actually surprising how often that works. It's also ironic that people take the pause as a sign that I haven't been listening to them when actually, it's a sign that I have.

Hi there,
Me too.
Liopleurodon wrote; "It's partly because I often don't really hear the words that people are saying straight off: I hear sounds which I have to play back in my head and work into words."
Quite often that's the case for me too. But what is that? A lack of concentration, being a bit off focus or other thoughts being in the way?
And....
Speaking is one thing, I write a lot (in my own language, mostly) and I get so frustrated sometimes by the fact I can't keep up with the stream of thoughts.
But I don't think this is a very typical AS or HFA thing. To say that nt-lets have slower working brains is a nice thought but probably wrong.
Best of luck to you all,
Ceesjan;
