Q:I have another aspie question if it's not a bother ._. Do you have any thoughts on the aspergers 'symptom' of monotone speaking? Is it really that common? I'm really flamboyant in my speech and not monotone at all.

I tend to speak far more quietly and more monotone when I’m depressed or anxious. Usually I use quite a lot of intonation, but I’m not sure how much it is for other people’s benefit. I don’t know how common it is.
What does anyone else want to say on the matter?

My parents say I speak monotone as well, and it tends to coincide with depression anxiety. I haven’t been diagnosed, however.

About
Here you will find my experiences with autism, as well as the anxiety and depression that often come with it.I want this to be a place of neurodiversity. I'm not an expert, but I welcome questions, thoughts and experiences from others. I want to respect all neurodivergences and that means refusing to reinforce ableism.
I don't use functioning language. Nor do I insult people on the basis of their intelligence, or equate intelligence with worth.
Outside of ableism, I also reblog posts about cissexism, heterosexism, racism, sexism, sizism and any other -isms that are taking place.
As a white cisgender guy I hold a lot of privileges, so I welcome call-outs when I get any of this wrong.
My personal posts tend to be in the actuallyautistic tag.
I can also be found at FY Stimming.
