My voice is low and monotone.

I can't "squeak" if my life depended on it.

I've a very low voice too, very often people don't even hear me.

I'll probably never understand how the hell actors can scream because of "fear" or something. It seems physically impossible for me. :lol:

I'm a male, but I don't think it really matters, though.

Everyone's got a different voice. I don't consider mine low for a woman, but is a bit lower than average. But I've never associated that with having AS. It's just me.

Smoking can make your voice sound lower, and also as women get to old-age, they can have lower voices.

I have a soft voice. I wouldn't call it low, but it's not high either.

I have a light soft feminine voice. In games on the microphone, i sometimes wondered if i'd ever get mistaken for a 10 year old boy. xD Cause there were some young kids with light cute voices. And i was one of the only girls. That never happened, It's really obvious i'm a girl. I always get told i have a soft and sweet voice.

I say naturally my voice is somewhat low, but I can turn it really high easier than I can turn it very low.

Even though my voice is low I CAN squeak if i choose to but only when talking. I can't make my voice to high when I sing. My voice can be either low and soft or low and rough, depending on how much I talk or sing. I can only make my voice sound feminine if i try to talk louder, but that ruins my voice so i usually just talk like a guy. I mean it's not a HUGE problem, it DOES make people look at me weird though. I have inflection (or however you spell it) in my voice but mostly just on the U's and O's. Other than that i sound monotone and very very stoned.

For a woman I have a rather low voice and I speak rahter monotone. High voices from women can cause acoustical overload with me. I was adviced to go to a center for autism, but that woman had a high-pitched voice and that hour was a torture to me, so I never went back there. My psychologist says that when I talk about something I like, my voice gets a bit more "vivid" and I talk more fluently, which is logic, because when I talk about a SI it is something I know what to say about, whereas I don't know it with other subjects

My voice is extremely low for a girl and I get told it's "weird". Sigh.

My 6yr old daughter says she has a boy's voice. It isn't very girly.

I would have said the same about my own voice when I was little. These days, when I speak, I still sound like I did when I was a teenager, so still quite child like. But, I sing quite a lot (at home, in the car, etc) and I think I have quite a large range, the lowest is much deeper than most women, but the highest feels very falsetto. When I sing something like 'Endlesss Love', the male part feels right for me, the female part is not my natural singing voice.

My voice is really high...i actually hate listening to myself because I don't sound squeaky to myself. I can sing a varied register though...from low alto to high soprano but I have very flexible vocal cords due to Ehlers-Danlos

I've never really thought about it, I think it sounds low but I asked my husband and he thinks it sounds normal, not high not low. I do however go really high and squeaky and talk very fast (not uncommon to most scoucers) when talking about something that's angered me or excited me and I (in my husband's words) go 'into the realm of the dolphins' - meaning I get so high pitched it's squeaky.

I have a relatively low voice (I would probably be an alto if I sang), and I have a bit of a monotone going on, especially when I'm having a more "autistic"/socially exhausted day. Although it's weird, sometimes, when I'm talking to people that I have to be relatively formal with for a short period of time (ex. people at the food counter), my voice gets a bit higher and I sound much younger.

I have no idea.

Interesting topic, though, BECAUSE, many women do raise their voice to an artificially high level.

MANY, many women.

I want to put said women in the ground every time I hear it.

I can tell you that I am not guilty of this offense.

But, my voice isn't deep, really. Just average sounding.
