I speak like a TTS (text-to-speak) engine with emotion set to random.

Possibly Aspie (diagnosed by an autism expert, doc moves abroad, forced to change docs and all say it's schizophrenia NOS or schizo-affective disorde or personality disorders. initial doc was a colleague of uncle Simon btw. you do the math.). (edit: by Uncle Simon I mean Simon Baron Cohen. Just to clear things up.)

I don't know how I sound really, I feel like I probably sound less intelligent or sophifisticated than I would want but is that autism or where I came from? I dunno. Sometimes I'll hear myself and think my Wisconsin accent is really strong, I don't know if people notice or if it is my head since I haven't gotten too many comments.

My voice is high-pitched and kind of childish, and I'm often told my accent is conspicuous. It's awkward being repeatedly asked if I'm SURE I haven't lived in [insert place where I haven't lived]... it looks like a lot of people here have that experience.
