this is by far the most relevant post ive seen here this is my biggest problem and its so frustrating especially in academic settings i know the answers and what i want to talk about but it takes me forever to actually turn those thoughts into coherent sentences and by the time i do someone else has said it or the class has moved on teachers then think i have nothing to contribute or dont know anything and take points for it like yesterday i had a group meeting where all of my partners were able to concisely explain why they picked this topic and give supporting information while i ended up just word-vomiting all of my notes its so frustrating i can write fine it just takes me a lot longer but talking in real time is awful   im really nervous now because i have a meeting with my universitys disability center coming up and im terrified i wont be able to explain myself and not end up getting the help i need
