| It's been a life changing experience for me. I'm able to deal with my extreme anxiety and depression in a much calmer way. I'm also feeling other emotions that I typically don't experience. I'm more balanced in my emotional life. I speak about my journey in my blog that's listed in my profile. :) |

| Reading through a few of your old posts this is not a new issue and was already determined in another thread that this can be AS related, but...BUT...he has to take responsibility for himself and his own behavior. I can certainly sympathize with him about how hard life must be for him as per your li... |

| I have been undergoing therapy for something similar. Mine is more directed at my husband only, and almost never my kids, who I have tons of empathy and patience for. This in turn hurts my husband very deeply. It's not him, but the fact that my anxiety and depression was so out of control that his d... |

| After reading the responses in the thread Do You Hear An Inner Voice When You Read? I was really surprised at the results. So many of you said you did, which I don't, for the most part. My next question is, How do you spell words? What is your thought process on that? I see the word typed out in my ... |

| Well, I feel kind of excluded now, because I like talking about boys and fashion! I understand what you're saying when they do it excessively. It's annoying. I wish I could talk about my interests to them, but they just aren't interested... So yeah. Also, if you're complaining about how they just s... |

| My subvocalisation disappears at higher reading speeds, such as when I'm reading a novel. I subvocalise when I have to read slower and concentrate on more technical things in non-fiction books. ^^ This. Any book or text that absorbs me, I'll process and move forward before words start to echo in my... |

| This thread reminds me of a similar discussion we had here awhile back about Subvocalization "Do you subvocalize while reading?" I certainly do hear a voice in my head when I read. I am very much an auditory person and I have to be able to hear that voice. I can't read in a loud place, not necessar... |

| The article states that they think people with ADHD also have no inner speech. There's a test on the page to see how if you do. I failed miserably, as did my dyslexic, ADHD hubby.

| I came across this article that talks about dyslexics not hearing an inner voice when they read, or at all really. I don't either, and I know I'm not dyslexic. I've always been a strong reader. I'm wondering if it's more to do with thinking in pictures. I don't think that I ever really hear my voice... |
