Just means that I it takes a bit longer than average for me to articulate what I say. So people think I'm slow when in actuality it's my brain scrambling to find an appropriate response speech wise.
Now its only constrained to oral communication. I'm very proficient at writing my thoughts. That's why for the longest of times all my english teachers assumed that I was plagiarizing my papers until they understood that while I cant really communicate well orally I can easily communicate with writing.
It is a disorder. It's an addition to a learning disability. My brain has a harder time translating thoughts to oral movements in time. My fingers have no such issue.
Yes in standard conversations I'm somewhat ok, I use um and filler words a lot more since I process the conversation a bit slower, so if I am asked a sudden question my brain has to pause. Take account of new information and then reform a new sentence. Most people do this instantly, it takes me a few moments to figure out how to articulate the sentence correctly. So I can still talk it just takes more time to do the same task as someone else. It's like comparing the speeds of iPhone generations.

Do you think it's really a disorder, or something you can work on if you put yourself in more social situations?

How were you diagnosed? Can you have normal conversations with people who are close to you?
