langdisorder··on Ask HN: How do you handle language disorders/communication problems?
Are you able to do this really fast? I took a really long time to write this post. ( More than half an hour) I'm kind of doing the same thing even with instant messaging. I write long paragraphs everywhere. AI tools help with rephrasing and reducing wordiness but when it comes to one on one communication, it's really difficult to rapidly iterate and maintain the conversation. This causes stuttering? I have ADHD too and expressive language difficulties.

If normal communication does not come naturally to you, it's difficult to convince people as well as there is a greater tendency of misunderstanding and lack of trust.

It will appear as if you don't know what you are saying or you are making things up. Also, you will have people saying this:

"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."

Nobody's going to wait for you to finish your sentences either. They assume something and react.

Such reductionist statements might be valid for most cases but if you are at the receiving end due to communication/articulation problems, it's really difficult to convince people.

There are other problems that come up.

It takes me a lot more iterations to get things right. I'm curious if someone has figured out communication for people with language disorders.
