Yes, it's unintentional and feels out of my control and impossible to stop. It could be for a long time, too, if I'm really stuck on a word. Makes me feel unsafe to try to say anything when driving or...

I totally get you. You want to speak so badly you can't stop for a second to breathe, calm yourself and say what you want to say. I run out of breath so much when I'm speaking....

It’s not so much about whether or not you are physically alone. It’s more of whether or not your *voice* is being (going to be) heard. PWS tend to become fluent when speaking simultaneously in a gr...
