Gay Voice?

Post Reply New Topic

Did anyone else have a Gay voice growing up? Could this be a symptom of Autism?

I had a gay voice until I was about 13/14.

What’s a gay voice?

A voice that sounds gay.

I think a "gay voice" is an old-fashioned stereotype for people who were gay long before homosexuality was acceptable.

Guessing you mean a high pitched voice that sounds "Girly" (It sounds more fakey to me, not feminine honestly) on a guy, I have the other side of the coin.

Especially as a young girl (Like five) I sounded like a grown man. I've learned to make it sound higher as I've gotten older, because people wouldn't hear me or thought I was mumbling.

There is a stereotypical "gay voice."

It is higher-pitched than most men's voices. There's often a slight lisp present. They tend to exaggerate "feminine" intonations and vocal mannerisms. Like another poster said, they might sound "fake feminine."

I've heard it. Kinda high and lispy?

Sheldon Cooper from "Big Bang Theory," to me, has somewhat of a "gay voice."

Not me.

Also, I didn't know Jim Parson's was gay...show's how much I pay attention

I think that actor plays it up for BBT, because he didn't sound like that in Hidden Figures.

"Sing-song" voices are often seen with kids and people on the autism spectrum, if that is sort of like what you experienced. I know someone who is not professionally diagnosed but likely has the disorder, and when he was younger he had this "sing-song" sort of voice which would go up and down in intonation whenever he spoke.

Here is a good link that mainly depicts a classic presentation of autism, but still identifies certain abnormal speech patterns that are often present in autism across the spectrum: https://www.special-learning.com/articl ... _in_autism

Here is a video example as well: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NFPChELcCzY

If this isn't what you mean at all, but you had some form of odd tone to your voice, then any abnormal intonation, pitch, or prosody to the voice could be a sign of autism, but it isn't definitive.

No it wasn't like that it wasn't a gay lisp either just a noticeably gay voice.
