Mixing up words

Post Reply New Topic

So it's been on my mind lately and I'm wondering if aspergers is involved or it's just my own personal quirk. I have this thing where I'll call spoons straws. My mind thinks spoon and my mouth says straw. It isn't constant but it is somewhat frequent. I won't even realize I've said the wrong word until I think back and realize what I said didn't sound right. One such example.
*me and sister at Dairy Queen with blizzards ordered *
Me: could I get a straw please?
Clerk: *stares at me*
Me: not a straw, a straw.
Clerk: *stares at me*
Sister: she would like a spoon

You can google:

verbal paraphasia

Which describes such a thing, but if you are at all hypochondriac the hits will convince you that you've had a stroke or other such malady. Mostly because the extreme cases come as a result of injury or damage, and those are the ones that get studied.

In reality, it's also something that some people just do. Or rather, a neural atypical quality that some people just have. I've noticed anecdotally that some founding names in computing history, for instance, did such a thing.

This kind of thing happens to me a lot, too. I'm not sure why. I will often say something like "Pass me the one other" when I mean to say "Pass me the other one." That's just a random example, but it's such a common thing for me that I've got to where I'll just say "Reverse that" and keep on talking without bothering to try to correct myself most of the time.

Other times, I can't get a word out, like what you're describing. However, I usually do recognize that I'm saying the wrong word, so I'll either try to say another word for whatever it is, or if I can, I'll try to describe whatever it is I'm talking about. Like I might say "Pass the crunchy, square things" when I want crackers but I can't stop calling them biscuits or whatever. It seems like a brain glitch or something.

I frequently use a word that I don't mean to, or not say a word in a sentence that I thought I had said.

Yes, I will say that I'm hot when I mean I'm cold.

It is usually the opposite words where it happens in my case.

Even when I try to correct myself I still say it wrong.

I have been known to say chicken instead of sheep.

Yeah, I get words mixed up a lot. Sometimes I manage to say the complete opposite of what I meant, which can lead to a lot of confusion, especially at work. I've noticed that it seems to happen much more frequently to me the over the last couple of years.

I don't think it's Asperger's, though stress can cause these sorts of personality quirks.

My (NT) mum does this. She often confuses ''shopping'' and ''washing'' (in USA shopping=groceries, washing=laundry, in case people don't know what I'm talking about). So sometimes she'd say ''I'm just going to hang the shopping out...I mean the washing'', or ''I'm going washing now...I mean, shopping''. It's actually quite hilarious, even she just laughs at herself now, but it is an unintentional mistake she makes.

I do this sometimes.

I don´t know if this counts, but I tried to type in ¨wrong planet¨ in the address bar to come to the forums, and typed ¨different world¨ instead.

My mom does this too. The best was when she called a bottle of glue a "rare evening bird."

I'll either switch words or forget a simple everyday word. It'll be on the tip of my tongue, but I'll resort to describing it until hours later I'll suddenly have an epiphany and remember it's called cat food...

I often blurt out sentences that are muddled or make no sense.
It seems to increase as my stress and anxiety does.

It's not just limited to verbal speech either, I must re-read everything I type as I often miss words when I type or may write something like "we we" instead of "when we" or "to to" instead of "to go", I will often misspell words I know how to spell and sometimes even write letters backwards.

I will also plain forget words that I know, knowing it when I hear it, but being unable to get the word out even though I have a rather large vocab.

I do this occasionally. The best one was when I said "foreskin" but meant "forehead". Oh dear. To my defence, English is my second language.
