Is Autism and Asperger noticeable on the phone?

Post Reply New Topic

It varies on my current state.
Whether how I got easier or harder with performing verbal speech, how complex the conversation is, how well my auditory processing doing, and my working memory.
It can also vary who I'm also talking to and what I'm also currently doing or dealing with during the call.

Speaking in native tongue in general is easier, than translating every spoken contexts in English.
Code-switching can make conversations easier or harder, depending on the conditions above.


Phonecalls in general are one of the least of my problems. I won't avoid them, nor I ever felt like avoiding it.

The length of the phone call actually matters a lot. if I know its going to be a very long phone call, 10 minutes or longer, I will probably look for a good time to do that. I wont do it if I know I'm going to be busy soon, and so on.
If its short phone call, 1-2 minutes or less, I dont make much preparations if at all. Especially if its someone I already know who is on the phone.
I think calling offices, stores, customer services, etc., are more difficult phone calls for me than people I already know or family. I need to be prepared more for what I am going to say to them, or questions I'd like to ask.
