Do you have an "Aspie accent"?

Post Reply New Topic

When I read aloud sometimes I stutter. Is that it? I don't really know.

Yes, i have, some people say i speak with neighbor city dialect, my kids aren't aspie and they speak just like me, some people even don't understand me.

I'm not sure.
I could be wrong, but I think I sound like many neurotypicals my age.
I do know a handful of autistics with voices that are slower and louder than most other people's.

I tend to learn speech patterns of friends/family/housemates pretty fast, which I tend to mimic. My wife is from another country, and I notice myself picking up her typical grammatical errors in speech and errors of pronunciation.

What is unusual for me, is I recognize the faintest of accents, but I have a really hard time processing auditory speech.

I'm not sure if I do or don't. Now, I'm curious, and wish that I knew someone who could tell me if I do!

I live in Alabama and only lived in Alabama but people say I have no Southern accent.

I do tend to speak flatly and as if I was lecturing. maybe that's why people think I'm a know-it-all.

Yeah, this: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpockSpeak

Although I have done a bit of accent-mixing in my travel across the country. So now my accent has features of TV standard, CA variants, NY variants, and some features of a southern accent. Occasionally features of English accents crop up since that year in high school a student from England was here, but that mostly happened in high school (I inadvertently mimic speech patterns I'm around a lot, which is probably why when I was a four-year-old girl I started talking like David Attenborough).

When "AlexanderPlatz Berlin" went over the danish screens, I suddenly spoke german like the character, Rieke (plattdeutch). Language heard in movies seem to stick in my brain for a while to the amusement of others.

my accent is well conveyed in this clip.

I have a very flat bogger Irish accent. I have been told my tone of voice is always angry or I speak to everyone with an attitude even though that is not my intention.
I do speak quite loudly a lot of the time according to other people. I would be talking to someone in my family and they have to tell me to stop shouting at them, when all I wanted to do was talk to them.

Was this the same vehicle that required all the mechanical work a few weeks ago? I notice that the video clip was posted on YouTube a while ago. If it's the same car it has held up very well over time.

I have long had a bit of an odd prosody about my speech [alternately monotonic and singsong, alternately too slow and too fast, too high-pitched and too low-pitched, too quiet alternating with too loud].

I have all three of these...it makes for some awkward speaking, at times. It especially becomes an issue when my husband thinks I'm being "rude" because of the tone of my voice even though I had no intention of being rude at all...

I often get asked where I'm from because I enunciate clearly (I'm a native Californian). When I read out loud, especially, I do sound very lyrical.

I have the aspie accent, speak monotone and very formal, perhaps a little depressed sounding. I can't increse the volume of my voice without sounding rude, agressive or upset according to the meny complants I get, these issues follow the I can't hear you I often get as I often talk too quiet so they say. Sometimes I hear the upset/agressive tone come out and say sorry right away not that it makes people feel any better.

I've had people think I'm from Britain. Granted, I have lived in one of the New England states, but still.....

I don't know if I have the pitch and tonality issues--nobody's told me either way--but appropriate volume is an issue for me. I often speak too loudly or too softly without realizing it.
