Why Autism don't let you talk when you want to talk? I want to talk, not too often, when I do want to talk, I can't open my mouth.

Selective mutism, maybe?

I can't speak not all the time, but still a lot. I have been hard of hearing my whole life, I have some level of difficulty with translating my thoughts into speaking. But writing is easier, sign language too.

Why it happens? Fatigue, overstimulation and overwhelm, anxiety and stress...
