Nonverbal sometimes?

[Darius]

Hi, if you're sometimes nonverbal, can you explain what does it mean for you? How it affects you and what do you do?

Trying to figure it out if it happens to me. Especially in work setting.

There have been a few times where I have been so overstimulated that I have struggled to speak. I think that might count as being "sometimes nonverbal," but I'm not sure.

Panic attacks for me specifically ,exhaustion ,I get a feeling that I shouldn't speak ,sometimes a stress cough -you cough very slightly then more until all you can do is cough ,allergic asthma (not brittle asthma where the person looks very pale and almost emaciated )in the summer I get depressed then I think don't speak,hypervigilance can include what's called the 1000 yard stare classically happens to soldiers ,I freeze and just my eyes move slightly .

Sometimes I don’t talk much. I just am too focused on something or I just don’t feel like talking.

In certain Italian families, not talking is considered an admirable character trait.

There used to be times when I was overwhelmed, usually by something unexpected, and I would not be able to talk for at least a couple of hours, no matter what a person said or did, I just couldn't will myself to speak.
