The Very, Very Common Symptoms Of Asperger's Syndrome

Stiff Or Formal Speech

Speech is a huge part of Asperger's. They're all talking about it! Men, many people with Asperger's have stiff or formal speech. This happens a lot. So much. A big part of diagnosing Asperger's was autistic traits without speech delays. But that was when this was a separate condition. Men, even people without the delays still have stiff or formal speech! They'll use vocabulary that's too advanced or formal in another way for casual conversations. This is what others find offputting!

Formal and stiff speech isn't intentional with Asperger's. You know that. People with it just talk in really, really great detail about what they think is interesting. What's more, but they also struggle to relate to others. Men, this adds to the struggle in relaying their ideas! Not thinking in verbal language is part of this too. People with Asperger's often think in pictures or emotions. Both are so hard, so hard, to translate into words.
