I have issues ordering food, like many other people do. When I was on campus and visiting particular spots often enough, people would learn what I wanted and understood that the words wouldn't always come out. I don't think they'll ever understand how much it meant to me, but it was wonderful. I avoid going through drive thrus since it can be painfully awkward, and often order online instead. If I mumble through a sentence with fluidity but too quickly, I get stuck if someone asks me to repeat myself. People trying to finish my sentences can be helpful, but there are also days where they're on the entirely wrong track. Introducing myself is like pulling teeth. I've found that if someone gives me their name and asks for mine, I try to repeat theirs and then offer mine in return. Sometimes there's an awkward pause, but I think I'm the only one who finds it a little strange. I work in a setting that sometimes requires masks and face shields so you can't lip read or fully understand the other person. People can see the slight panic in my eyes when I try to repeat what I said, but hopefully with all the talking I do now, it will eventually get easier. Just trying to be patient with myself.
