Why is it I dont like wanting to say anything at all? When people are talking in class I don't feel the need to ever want to talk and if i do i feel like someone has already thought of it or I feel like it will build up if i talk. I usually repeat what I say to myself like a 1000 times. It gets in my way. I always thought it was good because then I wouldn't say something idiotic. I always want to attribute this type of thinking to taking coricidin cough and cold medicine. So far seems like the right path I should be taking.

If u have Aspergers, a common hallmark is very low expressive language (ie, talking) skills. A spee h and language pathologist SLP, can show u how to build those skills.

I can talk if I want to but I don't want to. It will build and build up if I do. Then I'm stuck with what I should have said. and it doesn't help that I'm not the greatest in my class either. So I'm quiet the whole time in lab but still manage to make a mistake. It seems to be an on going pattern I have. I'm usually of by like a second.

Dear Lost,

Why are you taking the cough and cold medicine, and is this something you take everyday? I want you to know that nobody here would ever think you are idiotic here. So, please feel free to say anything you like. We are here to help each other.

I tend to not talk in groups practically at all either and just listen. When I was younger i used to try, but most often people tend to not put as much weight upon what I say as I would like. I feel much more comfortable talking one-on-one with people, or in a group of 3 people, where I know that everything I say will be listened to. Maybe you should just try to find someone to talk to alone instead of trying to talk up in groups like that. I have a close friend I talk to for hours a day and I have more fun in a conversation with her than I would ever have in a group.
