Speech struggles

NAS91867

I’m 27f and awaiting assessment date. When asked about how you’re feeling how do you react? When I’m asked about my feelings or if I am trying to speak to somebody about something for example yesterday I was trying to ask my manager if we could come up with a plan for when I’m having a bad day, I really struggle to get the words out. It’s like I know what I want to say in my head but I can’t form the words and then I get really annoyed at myself for not being able to speak. Could this be due to autism or would this be something else?

  • I am not sure if you are referring only to describing emotions. I can describe how I feel simply but struggle to explain the effect things can have on me. I can plan in my head exactly what I want to say and feel confident about it, then when it comes to saying it to my boss it comes out muddled and seems like I am being awkward.

    I have tried putting it in writing as that gives me time to check what I am saying, but unfortunately the last time I did that he didn't understand and asked me to talk about it.
