Why do someone people with autism talk loudly?

Post Reply New Topic

I have been told that I occasionally talk too loudly. When I do talk too loudly, it's not because I am looking for attention. Instead, I gauge my voice volume, by listening to what I am saying. If I myself cannot hear what I am saying, I will tend to talk louder. This is important (for me) as I have a difficult time stringing words together if I cannot hear what I am saying.

I usually talk too softly, but I'm not really aware of how softly I'm speaking. When I was little I think I had the opposite problem and spoke too loud.

My bf said I tend to talk loud. I did not know this. I think it's because I have hyper senses. I can hear what's going on around me so well that I have to "talk over" a lot of noises as I cannot hear myself through all the chaos..although that still kinda doesn't make sense I guess.

I also think that I am more prone to it when my feelings are strong. If I'm really mad or excited I must not realize what I'm doing because I can only focus on my feelings and I'm not how I'm talking.

I only talk quietly when I don't want anyone to hear what I'm saying. The rest of the time, I'm unaware of how loud I am, and it can be hard to keep myself quiet if I don't feel like I'm saying anything I don't want anyone to hear. And my voice only gets louder when I get stressed...

i talk too loud, sometimes my enviroment is too loud so i cant hear if my voice is too loud but most of the time im not aware of my voice volume at all.

Some have trouble with controlling volume and tone, in my ASD group there was one guy that sounded incredibly awkward like a preteen boy going through voice change and one girl who spoke pretty loud. I never knew I spoke very softly until someone pointed it out.

I have been reprimanded many times for speaking too loudly (Last times was about a year and a half ago). I never realize it. I do have aural processing issues though.

But, for the life of me, I can't figure why anyone with Autism would do anything for attention. It would seem most that I have met here would just as soon NOT draw attention to themselves. We've had enough unwelcome attention in our lives. At least I know I have.

It´s like putting an item on the table or closing a door. Either it happens with a slam or it happens too slowly and too over-careful.
I´m mostly asked to speak up - but now and then asked to shush down - especially when exited.....but that´s kind of normal, I should think.....being loud, when exited.

I talk too softly, or in a mumble.

I've read that people (children) with autism do have problems with appropriate voice volume/modulation, talking too loudly.

I have the reverse problem. People can barely hear me.

I talk really loudly about whatever comes into my head when I'm in comfortable environments. Don't do it on purpose, I just get louder and louder without realizing. Done it all my life. But when I'm in an uncomfortable environment (around strangers, for one), I get really quiet and run out of things to say.

I have trouble controlling the volume of my voice. I speak at one volume, regardless if the room is quiet or if I am in a noisy place like a bar. Usually in ordinary quiet rooms I think I speak at an acceptable volume which others can hear me. In a library, I would be too loud, and in a bar or club, I simply would not be heard, so I avoid these places.

In te past I'd been told I talk too loud and too excitedly without even realising it. It was definitely NOT for attention.
