Aspergers People

Post Reply New Topic

Why do aspergers people can raise their voices? I can speak in a normal voice, but when I get angry, my voice can get high without me knowing about it, sometimes I can tell.

That's the way it is with most people.

When people get angry, their voice tends to be of a higher pitch than normal.

Mine does it too. It goes high pitched when I am upset. My husband does the same. You can use that as a social cue for when someone is upset, whenever their voice goes high pitched, it means they're upset.

I have the problem that my voice can get louder while im talking, but never quieter.....so i just end up shouting by the end of it until i realise then go back to normal sound levels.....really kind of weird.


getting higher pitch, now thats something i dont even notice, i can hardly tell if someones voice has gone higher until its really really high. i dont know if mine does that....maybe it does? hmm got me thinking now

Do you mean higher in volume? Or higher in pitch?

I guess this is one of those subconscious social things that we actually don't suck at, because it is indeed something that seems to happen in everyone.

I read aspergers & cerebral palsy have trouble with their voices.

I have trouble judging what volume to speak at and my voice becomes monotone sometimes, my problem with expressing anger though is that I sometimes don't make my voice raise in pitch and/or volume so sometimes people can't tell if I'm joking or being serious. I have actually had to learn and practice sounding angry and serious when the situation warrants it.

It has been commented that when I am surprised, my voice gets noticeably higher pitched.

When angry, I just get louder and louder and the language skills go out the window. It's also a bit of a booming growl.

When in conversations, I talk at all sorts of volumes and usually too loud. During teacher certification evaluations, my voice was called a 'boomer' as it is normally. So, take that and magnify it a lot when I start to lose control.

I have trouble regulating my volume.

Sometimes I talk too loud and my friends around have to "shoosh" me. I've become more aware over the years.

Other times, I might get a bit too quiet.

Basically, if I stay chilled, then things are fine.

There are some kids at school who need to be told to use their "indoor voice" a lot.

Might have to do with both lacking in self awareness and spatial awareness.

I think that is the case with me when my vocal stimming gets too loud.

I am often told that I am "speaking too loudly."

I think both the pitch of the voice, and the volume, become "higher" if one is angry.

yeah my dad constantly accuses me of speaking way too loud, its mainly when i talk about video games, i get so into it i apparently start almost shouting about it he says " shhh dont bring the house down your so loud!" which is stupid because my voice can't brig the house down becauyse if it could, we'd have already sued the people that sold it to my parents for selling us such a badly built house

I suspected I had Aspergers.

Though undiagnosed I was pretty sure, but that's for another thread.

I was wrong. After my recent diagnosis I found I am/have Autism - level one.
Regarding volume.
I talk louder when on the phone or when really interested or excited.
During my Dr. Laugh programs I can modulate from a whisper to wildly loud. My audience seem to enjoy the ride. I do.

ASD level one is Asperger's basically. They just don't use that label anymore. It's no longer a diagnosis.
