As everyone knows, people suffering from AS tend to have impaired speaking skills. I am such a person and tend not to express what I know as well as some others; it seems to put me at a disadvantage. Usually when I speak, the words don't come out coherently. In addition, I stutter a lot and miss out some of the important points so the meaning becomes obfuscated. Is there anyone who has overcome some of these difficulties and how would you suggest improving this skill?

Some Aspies have reported success with Toastmasters. They're worth a try.

Take a college course "Speech 101" Everyone is terrible there. Other than that, practice, and don't worry about trying to be perfect.
