Sort of. I can say an individual word, like my name, when alone with no hesitation or block. But sometimes stringing words together in a conversation way I get tripped up or stuck. I think in my case I often think faster than I speak and my brain and speech aren’t coordinated properly. For me, this has given me an opportunity to practice speaking when alone to improve my fluency. When I’m going through a rough patch with my speech I’ll spend some time “talking to myself” (driving alone in the car is a good time for this). If I feel a block on a word I’ll slow down and wait until I can say the word fluently. I find this helps my brain and speech get synced up and translates to when I’m taking with others too.
