Talking Too Fast

Post Reply New Topic

Is talking too fast have to do with Aspergers? Alot of people can talk too fast, it can hurt my head trying to understand people, my brain can shut off.

I often talk too fast. The faster I talk, the faster are my thought processes. So I can give a lot of complicated informations/ideas. I don't know if it's an Asperger thing, but it's spontaneous.

I think tempo, struggling with things such as speed, volume, etc. can be connected to ASD and disabilities. I tend to talk really fast when I'm excited. I have a quieter voice and I've been cut off in the past, so I guess talking fast has come out of a fear that people won't let me finish. I am also a slow processor so there are times I talk abnormally slow because I'm struggling to piece my words together on the spot. There's little-to-no middle ground for me.

I’m a slow processor and tend to talk at an average to slightly-slower-than-average speed. I can’t process all of what someone is saying if they’re talking to me really fast.

I too have been told that I talk quickly.

The other say someone said that actually, followed up by suggesting that I am "Surprisingly articulate for being from [insert my hometown here]".

Somehow I feel double insulted by this. Hard to explain why.

Being spoken to slowly can feel incredibly condescending. I wish more people would speak a bit faster, esp automated systems. It's difficult to not tune out when ev.er.y poss.ib.le syll.a.ble is sooo spread out. I tend to speak more quickly than others, altho not nearly as fast as I did twenty years ago by far.

I’m a fast talker. I stutter and I clutter.

I talk fast, too, and stutter sometimes but not as often as I used to. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve consciously worked on slowing down although it still happens when I’m nervous.

It’s not really a stutter. It’s more like having a momentary lapse in how to say what I want to say and words coming out garbled as a result.

I’m sure that it would be really tough to grow up with a true stutter. Kids can be so cruel about that sort of thing.

I talk pretty slow and have word-finding difficulties. I process information from other people more slowly as well.
