I find it much easier and better to write than by talking.

yes, i can write and type stuff out very well but i get anxious with talking and conversations are so fast paced that almost everyone i have talked to probably thinks i am just very quiet, i have alot of thoughts on stuff most of the time just not very good at speaking

I can put more thought and consideration and editing into writing - and I can’t think on the spot in conversations. I went on vyvanse and it helped me socially though, (but apparently shouldnt take it with Sz, I do t have). But even with the med I still have to rehearse conversations ahead of time but when I write it comes out easier. I have to use a lot of strategies in conversation and socializing.

To a certain extent -yes . I’m not too good at processing things in face to face situations requiring a quick response .

I write better than I speak. I draw blanks a lot now in conversation and I think it’s from social anxiety. Then I’ll realize what was said when I’m by myself later.

YES!

I wrote two crime novels, good reviews, before my sz disorder made it impossible to write coherent.
I’m very bad at verbal communication, so whenever i meet my psychiatrist i write a page long note about my status.

I don’t have good social skills most of the time and not many people to talk with irl. Mostly because of my isolating and thought disorder.

For me it is the other way around.

I use speech to text to write, and text to speech to read.

I just don’t have the energy often to do otherwise.

I use speech to text to put text messages together it helps me not forget what I am saying quickly. but with speech to text I can still edit or delete things too. It the conversations that leave me drawing a blank the most

Yep, I use text to speech for editing big time. I always find a bug or two and then fix them.

Sometimes writing is easier for me, because I have more time to find the words I want to use.

Writing is easier. At least it was until i found I can’t type on touchscreens well.

Yes this is the story of my life, I have been always good at writing but very bad at speech.
I can not think well while I talk, while I think clearly when I write and that I have more time to edit and delete.
But when I have came across MCT oil and ALCAR things have been improved a lot and I’m now good at both writing and speech.
I can think clearly and speak very well and also I feel that my thoughts are organised while I speak.
NAC is good as well in that terms but not very potent, however, NAC is good I think to balance everything.
Try above stuff and see how it goes with speech.
Also try B complex and Omega 3.
