I have to fill in the RAADs for my assessment but am stumped on the questions re normal rhythm/normal tone/unusual voice.


How does my voice sound here?

There's an uneven rhythm to your speech, there isn't an even flow. There's also a higher pitch than usual for a man, a somewhat childlike quality to the tone of your voice.

By the way it takes courage to record one's voice. I really don't like hearing my own voice. :)

Thanks for your reply. Being semi old?(62) having a childlike quality is a bit odd?

Yes, it is a bit odd but you will find that all people with Asperger's and Autism are odd; it is just the nature of the condition. And I believe we have our own qualities to offer that people less odd don't.

I've posted about this across forums and it's interesting to note the differing opinions.

Sounds slightly sing-songy and there’s a slightly unnatural sounding cadence to it, but these things are very mild.

It is on the higher side in pitch, but I’ve met plenty of people who just have high pitched voices.



Quote:
It sounds perfectly normal, meaning you have rhythm and tone. That’s how it sounds to me anyway, over the recording.

You have a lovely voice Firemonkey, NOT unusual at all. You sound very well spoken (which is good!), speak very clearly

My security software got paranoid, and resisted me downloading it. So I gave up on it. Sorry. Cant give you any feedback.
