I feel like I'm being muffled.

Post Reply New Topic

A major problem I have is that when I'm on a message board, particularly in forums that require posts with substance, I just can't come up with anything to say. It's a form of writer's block (Do NOT get me started on that subject...). My collective faults have their hands over my ears, eyes, and mouth, applying enough pressure to compress my organic, mushy CPU. I think this makes me come off as naive, so I resort to applying brief, snide comments in direct response to the OP, and walk away just as quickly as I had come, like a spirit in the Overlook Hotel. This muffling also occurs outside of the Net; I make grammatical errors in my speech, forget words that a guy of my age and purported intelligence should be cognizant of, and there are pauses and umms and uhhs...

I am simply going mute.

You're kidding me, right? That was a very well put together post. Just write like you just did.

I feel like that often... I compare it to hitting glass walls in my head. It can be frustrating. I always enjoy it when words and thoughts flow together for me... I think my wall hitting makes me appreciate it all that much more when communication works.

I understand completely. Sometimes I can barely form a sentence, other times the words are at such a rush to get out that I either say them out of order or mix up the letters and make up all new words. My long term friends have learned to decipher my language though

That always happens. And then I write. And form small sentences. Without substantial meaning. Whatever. I'm not striving for a gold medal or something.

the good news is that you are in a forum....so you can take all the time you need to formulate what you need to say...even if it is 20 mintues. You cant do that in person or in a chat room.

Try to keep comunicating though cause going mute because of autism is not much fun. You may need to see a speech therapist to help you communicate better. They do alot more than just help you pronounce words, although you mentioned having problems with that to, but they also help with other issues related to communication.

I also recomend automatic writing. All you do is write...you dont think...just write whatever comes to you, no mater how silly it is or even if it repetive or not even words at all. Do 3 pages a day for at least 6 months and it will really help on that writers block. I recomend reading the book "the artist's way" by Julia Cameron. It is workbook for overcoming artist's block and it has really helped me,
