Could be trauma , mental illness or something but i find writing things a lot easier than stringing sentences together verbally. I can’t really put things into conversation without pre thinking planning what to say. Ive been like this since early childhood. Maybe it was a development problem with verbal communication. Im just putting this out there in case anyone has similar problems with communication. Ive just been dx with mh, not autism. Thanks

Me too. I’m a visual thinker. I mostly think in pictures.
I’m also a more effective writer than I am a speaker. It gives me a little bit more time to organize my thoughts.

I also struggle retaining information, memory poor. Can’t speak to strangers ie speaking spontaneously very well and very anxious speaking. My mum and husband always interrupt because there impatient waiting for me to get my words out and this makes it difficult and anxious. I’ll talk about the weather rather than think and talk sometimes. Its hatd to process mentally information im reading or hearing. I have to ask people to repeat or reread again

I read about autism a bit but i don’t think its that. I think its probably anxiety from early on
its hard for me to talk. and listen. and comprehend i think. diagnosed with schizophrenia for the last 20 years and autism since last year. also had head injury to left side of my brain in 2009 or maybe 2010. idk whats causing it but i wasnt like that as a kid and its getting harder every year at a faster rate every year. i cant think easy anymore. something isnt right even as compared to 5 years ago. or even 2 or 3 years ago. i wish i could swap brains with someone for like a day so they could test it out and tell me whats up cause i dont know anymore. i feel like im becoming very stupid.
