Does anyone else do this?

I get this but with me it's due to either social anxiety or if I haven't spoken for a while.

I get that too, it's embarrassing for me because I'm acutely aware of it, the listener is giving me strange looks and I know what I want to say, but it comes out as a confused jumble.

I am the same. I think it is from being alone so much and having conversations in my head that I forget how to make words.
If I am under pressure to talk about something stressful then I also can`t speak but it is a different experience. When I was younger I used to literally freeze when feeling threatened until the threat (usually a shouting parent) went away.
I had a breakdown a few years ago and really forgot how to speak - I had to relearn the names of things like a stroke patient or something.
Occasionally though I just start talking an can`t stop - again as a reaction to being alone so much, not speaking and then it all having to come tumbling out.

I used to get that, especially at school. It started after my Granny died when I was only 12 years old. It is called elective muteism. For a while, the only words that came out of my mouth was naughty ones because of my Tourette syndrome!

What a brilliant way to describe this...after a few days by myself this is EXACTLY how I feel as well!

Barring social anxiety related selective mutism, I notice a lot of us have the issue with trouble speaking after not having spoken for a while (z said it perfectly..."It's quite annoying, because sometimes I like to mostly listen and only say a little, but then this is difficult because the first few words are not clear, and they are most of the words.") I wonder if NTs have trouble speaking after not having spoken for a while as well or if this is a "getting your speech back" thing only Aspies face...can anyone shed some light? This sounds like one of those issues that can go either way.

No, I don't get that, I just speak very quietly. And then I have to repeat myself 2-3 times.

Selective mutism

i have trouble speaking sometimes, especially in the morning after i havent spoken for a while. this usually consists of not being able to form the words in my mouth. also, under stress, my mind will go blank and i will not be able to say anything. another thing is that if i dont carefully plan what i have to say before i say it, it will come out as a jumble.

My shrink used to start my sessions with not saying anything at all. This is really an NT technique to get people to 'open up'. Sometimes she would go 10 minutes without saying anything. She soon realised that I needed her to start. I'm glad she did this though because I think it formed part of my diagnosis.

That's so funny that you mention that...everyone I've been in to see does the same thing...they'll ask a question and after I answer it they just sit there and look at me (which I HATED). I talked to my mom about it and she said it was a therapist technique...that a lot of people feel the need to "fill the silence" so they just start talking. Obviously it doesn't work for us

I've had episodes of momentary aphasia when I couldn't connect "word" to "thing".
To quote Temple Grandin: "Language is my second language".

Yes, it happens to me quite often.

This happened to me a long time ago when aI was excessive shy.

I can't talk at all around one of my sisters. She makes me feel so uncomfortable that I can barely make any words come out at all.

yes, it happened to me when I was in the ninth grade. It was aggravating because It suddenly showed up and I studdered. 15 yea rold do not do this! I was told. It stopped after I got used to my new school building, six weeks longer than the Others (Neurotypicals).
