Autistic Tendencies: The Dichotomy of Talking Too Much and Being Too Quiet
Autism presents a unique communication challenge where individuals can exhibit both excessive talking and moments of prolonged silence. The host reflects on her experiences, mentioning friends finding her either overly talkative or too quiet. The dichotomy stems from autistic individuals not always recognizing when they become uninteresting or bothersome to listeners, particularly when discussing special interests. The host questions whether interrupting can be regarded as a form of excessive talking, expressing frustration at her own tendency to interrupt and reflecting on the struggle to balance active participation in conversations without overshadowing others.
