Trouble speaking.

Rcressy

I was at an event on Saturday and some club members where in an a final. I was happily standing there watching and chatting to them. Then all of a sudden I know what i wanted to say but it came out completely mixed up. It was like I was really drunk (I hadn't been drinking) I stopped for a moment then when I spoke again I was ok. Does this happen to others or should I be worried.

I do find there are some words i can say properly and sometimes I can see the word in my head but can't say it correctly and the more I  try the worse it gets.

This drunk sounding speak is not new I wonder if it linked to how I'm feeling. Also been told I go into slow motion sometimes both in actions and speech. 

Does anyone else get this or it just me?

  • If I am stressed, anxious, hungry, too hot, tired, feeling ill - I can sometimes struggle to access a particular word I know that I want to use. 

    However, I don't experience either the "drunk speaking" mixed up speech, or the physical slow motion actions and speech.

    We cannot give medical advice here, however, I think it would be sensible (to put your mind at ease) by having a conversation with your GP about these types of experiences.

    Years ago, I used to work with someone who did exhibit a similar action / speech situation occasionally e.g. at work - and that was something the person's GP monitored and reviewed with that person. 

    It would be wrong of me to be more specific about that person's particular situation - as pseudo-diagnosis-by-internet is not prudent. 

    Instead, have a chat with your GP (these days, we sre not always able to see "my GP" as opposed to "a GP" - so I always remind them: that I am Autistic - as that can sometimes influence potential probability of things to consider / exclude).
