Tone of voice.

Does anyone else find they are constantly checking their tone of voice when answering a question?
It’s something I just seem to put a lot of energy into, constantly scanning that I haven’t sounded too unhappy, uninterested or annoyed. I make sure the pitch of my voice rises and I smile.

I’m generally quite happy, I just find if I’m not constantly checking my tone that I seem to be accused of something. It gets to the point of causing anxiety, exhaustion and not wanting to talk. It’s harder to answer a question when tired.

  • It is really quite annoying when people make snap judgements and form opinions of you based on your autistic characteristics. This has been used against me for my blunt or direct way of speaking. People used to say they could not tell when I was joking around and take offence.

    Another example of the world being an unforgiving place.
