Speech Cluttering

Post Reply New Topic

I know I'm stuttering if I have trouble finding the words I need to say what I intend to say, or say the words in the wrong order, and realize it doesn't make sense unless I say that word later.

Yep, that sounds just like me too.............I either mumble, or talk too fast, or mix up words, or can't think of words. Half the time I try to say something, people say "what?" It gets even worse if I get nervous or flustered.

There are two places (a coffee shop and convenience store/beer bar) I now avoid if I'm by myself because they are populated with people who are given to speaking in word salad. They approach me as if I was asking to be approached and just inundate my head with lines and lines of tiring gibberish. I want to be rude and yell, "Motherf*cker, you're driving me insane! Shut up!" but I don't. Maybe they're fellow aspies, maybe they have schizophrenia or brain damage. Whatever it is, I can't concentrate when they hold my brain captive. Arrgghh!

I speak fast, and I sometimes "clutter."

No, I used to ramble on a lot but it was always fairly coherent. Just too long and detailed for most people.

I had unintelligible, fast speech to people other than my mom until ages 9-11, most of the time. My mom had to repeat what I said. I also had other speech problems when I was stringing multiple sentences together.

I think you find as you get older that the attention span of most people you talk to is very limited. For the most part, they are not interested in what you have to say, particularly is if is your 'special interest' you're talking about. NT's in particularly often have little interest in anything outside the mundane. To make matters worse, as many have said on this thread, if we as Aspies are tired or stressed we are verbose and can be difficult to understand. I find if I'm talking to other Aspies, this is much less of a problem, as we tend to cut people a lot more slack.

My ex was very hard to listen to. I had to translate the words she used - "gooseneck" meant "crowbar," etc. She seldom made sense, but would attack if asked for clarification. Even someone she still liked was overheard pleading "Will you PLEASE finish a sentence?" after a paragraph's worth of words.
Good speech is not easy. Many teenagers are only confident with brief, trendy quotations. As with writing, you have to stay on topic in a logical sequence, and save the footnotes for another time. However, you can use intonation and feedback to add information and improve comprehension. However, people will often pretend to understand even if they don't, due to time constraints. If you are getting complaints, it would probably be a good idea to re-train yourself, starting with single sentence contributions, to keep it simple.

Oh, my! I had not heard of cluttering before but some posters are describing scenarios I find familiar. Being unable to come up with simple, ordinary words. My husband is very patient while I act out or describe the word I am trying to come up with. Also having my words and thoughts moving so quickly that my mind is miles beyond what my mouth is saying. Truly disorienting!

I do not have this problem in most of my work environments because I know the patterns and once I know a pattern it is pretty much there for good.

What exactly is "speech cluttering"? Is that like a speech impediment or something?
