I normally read extremely fast. I have to focus to read one word at a time and not jump ahead of my speech. I had been reading about inner monologue and I do not have a language based thought process. I think in concepts instead of words. Others were saying that when the think they “hear” the words of their thoughts in their mind and that they speak at the same speed as they think. As I was reading the first letter and thinking about my stutters the above popped in my head. I started reading one word at a time and things got better. By the 5th letter I was going pretty smooth. Reflecting on this today I was thinking about the advantages of aphantasia and how the visuals and audio are not there to distract me and slow me down and I put all together.
