Talking On The Phone!!

Hendrow

I absolutely adore talking on the phone, from iPhone, Messenger, Home Phone, I love them all. 

If engaged, I will/can/have/am et al, talk for hours. Such a safe medium of communication. (Excluding the linguistic pitfalls of course)

What I  am eager to know is, am I the only one?

Am I alone??

I am talking about, talking on the phone, thats all.

    Its like, I have found a real common 'bug bear' here.
    I really don't like texting.
    Whatsapp and Messengers are great for sharing pictures.

    You can have so much fun being Autistic and talking on the phone.

    I often say variations of this, when speaking to someone in their professional capacity.

    "Can I just preface this call by letting you know I suffer with, or should I say live with Aspergers/Autism. 
    Oh and I have ADHD too.

    So you may have to go, a little slower than usual, maybe even having to repeat yourself.
    (Explaining something that to You seems simple, it depends on how my head is working today)*
    I apologise in advance if that happens.
    Now where were we?"

    That changes the whole landscape of the conversation that follows. I can normally hear them thinking about everything they say, literally every 'duplicitous' thing they say, whilst speaking Engliesh. I could go on . . .
