Is talking too fast related to having NLD? I was diagnosed with NLD, and talk very fast. I saw on the Internet that some other people with NLD speak fast as well. Since the rate of speech is underneath paralinguistic codes, which is a right brain function, could it have a similar cause and occur along with NLD, or would it be a part of it? What do you guys think?

Also, anyone know any tips for making yourself slow down the rate of speech?

I suppose it could. I learned to speak at a younger age than my older siblings, and I have always talked fast. Where my learning problems are is in math. As far as slowing down, you have to make a conscious effort to do so. I do, but when I get agitated or excited, I speak at a rate of a mile a minute. I'm 53, and I don't think this is going to go away, I just have adjusted to it.

I think I actually speak slower than normal, but have heard a great deal of others speaking quickly. I think it may have something to do with wanting to get ideas out quickly and communicating all that they are feeling into the world, but I could be wrong.

I spoke very late (age 5.5). I speak fast. I probably have NVLD.

I have dyslexia which is a form of NLD & I've been to a school for dyslexia & I don't remember anyone talking fast.

Sounds like NLD, OCD and Hypothermia.

Have you looked into mindfulness or meditation?
This simple practice will allow you to be less stressed out and talk slower.

I second this. Strongly.
