    Ever heard of ADHD? Ya, the thought is perfectly intelligible. But as it travels to the mouth it gets mangled by six other thoughts along the way

      EXACTLY. Add social anxiety to the mix, and something as simple as asking a question becomes a Herculean task because your mouth won’t cooperate.

      This is why I prefer typing over speaking. I can go back and proofread what I said before I say it. When I speak, all that comes out half of the time is word salad.

        Also, you know, the searchable record which gets created. I legitimately don’t understand why some people insist on having important conversations in real time when that conversation just vanishes instantly into the ether once it is finished

      “Ah shit, I have something else to add to what I’m talking about, I better speak faster so I don’t waste everyone’s time”

        Damn. This is me. If I get it out now I won’t forget it then. So my mouth and tongue become the flash.

        Shit, I’m over 50 years old and it’s the first time i encounter people describing my daily chicken run through social hellscape. For once, it feels nice not to be alone.

        That’s not autism, that’s just poor social skills.

        I know autism is the “cool” disorder nowadays but there are actual autists suffering from it.
