For me I have found that I am much more talkative over text, in person or on calls I struggle with thinking of what to say and saying it. In person I only really talk if I get asked questions, whereas over text I can respond much more easily. It's not perfect as sometimes I don't respond to texts due to not knowing how or the "best" way, but it's a lot easier than communicating verbally.
I wondered how many other people preferred written over verbal communication and vice versa.
I prefer writing: texting, emails, autism message boards...I have time to think about what to say and can correct what I've said without having offended anyone. Basically, when I'm writing, I'm much more in control of what I'm saying. Also, conversations are difficult for me because I'm hopeless with non-verbal cues, I struggle to hear, and I have a really flat monotone, so I bore people very easily. I'm far more interesting and witty when I communicate via writing - as you will have no doubt gathered from this message.
