I don’t think I could ever sing. I think a symptom of my autism and going years without speaking. I’m figuratively and literally quiet. I don’t speak much
As a child I always sang to my toys, it’s a facet of mine that I have been rediscovering.
If you want to, you can just hum(I prefer some hiking songs, but shantys,
, the internationale or similar, work just as well) to yourself while walking, following the tact of your steps.
And people always tell me that I talk too much, but funnily enough fast talking and making jokes saved my ass a few times.
I heard that voice underuse is a common problem for many trans people that are dysphoric about their voice.
I’ve never been dysphoric with my voice, I’ve always been quiet. Not sure if it’s related to my autism or not. I did train my voice within a week but it’s not related to my quiet speaking
Though I do have a lot of trauma which may have messed with me too when I was a kid.
Apology below

Also I’m not trying to be a dick, I’m intersex so my voice was always androgynous and I only had to go up an octave… I’m not trying to flex I’m sorry if that comes across as such…
Eh, no problem, no need to apologize, everyone’s transition is different after all. I just think making sounds/music with my voice is fun, and like to share that, but not everyone needs to also want that.
I thought I’d replied to this but it seems to have been lost.

I’m always paranoid of saying something wrong because of my autism… I can be very matter of fact like I’ll just say things causally then when I re-read (yes I re-read and edit things a lot…) and worry that I’ve said something like a flex, I don’t like upsetting people and I’ve had people misconstrue my intent loads to the point of being driven out of spaces , so I felt I had to make it clear or at least as clear as my autistic anxious ass can be
I can by now speak without my chest vibrating, but not consitently. Still fun. Singing is also much more fun now.
