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.
What's your psychiatric diagnosis?

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?
