Eventually it becomes other people’s problem, not yours.

Well said

I think that's cute (:

I'll never forget talking to a guy that was literally the only native speaker of his language for like six months.

I could tell he really needed a break, but couldn't help.

I bet he talked someone's ear off though whoever they happen to be.

I should get checked because I probably wouldn’t be such an interjection when I run ideas contrary to the current conversation.

It’s funny, at the early stage, but I tend to get abandoned.

Of course I can speak. I spend fifteen minutes practicing my order in my head first, of course. And then yeah, I probably get the words on the wrong order. But they're all mostly there.

I'm autistic,and yes, I sometimes can't speak.

I try to say something, but instead it comes out in a way no one can understand.

"I have one main point I want to convey with five points of supporting evidence but actually each of those require arguing and some qualifications and point 4 is an essential part of the argument for point 1 and all of this reminds me of a funny conversation in a tv show that to me does a better job of explaining it but if you haven't seen it what's really important about that show is that it came out at the height of the War on Terror and -"

You probably stopped listening around the word "supporting" and I don't blame you for that

Aphasia sucks. There's a dam between my brain and my mouth and sometimes the right word gets caught on it so I have to start throwing out cinnamon rolls

You're trying to say you truly don't understand the concept of getting tongue tied?...

It's common in neurodivergent people.

It was a big problem for me for a long time. The words are in my head, but my mouth couldn't articulate the sounds and sometimes it was literal nonsense sounds that came out my mouth.

Weirdly enough, it turned out that I had a sensitivity to eggs that was making that (and my mental health) a lot worse.*

Even now, ten years on, when I can articulate a long sentence without tripping over my words, it still feels like a little victory.

This is a completely different thing from mutism btw.

*Unfortunately, the price of lower anxiety and better speech was losing a lot of my neutral/useful autistic traits as well.

I also struggle to relate to this! My husband says he feels like this a lot, and I'm like, how? you've been speaking one language for 3 + decades, that's plenty of practice lol! But that's okay. He'll get there eventually.

It's bullshit. Some people have genuine issues speaking their thoughts from a variety of disabilities, and other people are just plain bad at explaining things

In the context of a technical discussion, that assertion might hold water, but this meme is referring to discussing one's feelings.

So, in a way, you're kind of right.
