How fast do you talk?

Post Reply New Topic

Depends on my mood. Most of the time I talk very quickly, pressured speech. I talk a lot. I love to talk and talk and talk. Blah!! I don't remember what else to say right now.

I speak slowly.

Some professionals have tried to label this as aphasia or another language disorder. However, I find my speech to be highly variable (with "slow and thoughtful" at the high end and meeting diagnostic criteria for severe expressive aphasia on the low end).

I have my own explanations for when I speak well and when I do not.

I speak very slowly and sometimes in a fewer words as possible.

There's often long pauses if my mind stops thinking about the word I was going to say. Otherwise I have to think beforehand before initiating speaking if I initiate conversation at all and let others start first.

When talking about a special interest though, I often drone on, most conversations are usually monotone and lack any emotion.

i always talk very fast, dont know if it's an aspie thing or not.

I speak way too fast...when I CAN speak.

I speak at the speed of light

My instinct is to speak fast, but I often trip over words and struggle with pronunciation at times. As a result, I have to slow my speech a great deal and consciously speak out each word in order to be coherent.

I was a fast talker once,use to speak 350-400 wpm.my
best was around 500 wpm.

the record is 700 wpm

I used to talk at like one word per minute but sometimes I talk too slowly. Got told in 7th grade that I need to talk a bit faster and I practiced

I think I got that from my dad's mother and my aunt. Mum said my grandmother was a slow talker. She died when I was 1 years old. My aunt still talks really slow and everyone has noticed it - it drove my cousins mad.

I talk sort of slow but not noticeably so. If people talk fast I can't understand them and have to ask them to repeat themselves. And some times when I do understand it takes a moment to click and by then I have already asked them to repeat it. A lot of people think I am hard of hearing because of this.
Also I some times forget how to say a word. I know it, I've said it a million times without a problem, but I just can't say it. I can say other words, and laugh at my stupidity, but I can't make my mouth form the word.
And sometimes my brain works faster than my mouth and I will skip words. I have skipped entire sentences before and had to back track and repeat the whole thing. It is quite embarrassing when you try to tell someone something but miss half of your sentence, for example instead of saying "the cat clawed me!" You just shout "me!"
