Yeah, I stammer when I'm trying to spit words out faster than I can process them. Then it results in a word jam, and I have to stop completely to let myself catch up. Or say "blah" and start over.
I do stammer a lot likewise. Is it a common trait among Aspies? I also stammer when I'm questioned, offended, stressed, or frequently interrupted.
I also feel the rush when, as somebody stated, I'm loosing control of the conversation, or, I see the goal of the conversation is turning down. Slowing down emotions, putting down or postponding the "goal" can help.
