This is going to sound like a weird suggestion, but I used snacks/gum to slow me down. The very act of having something in my mouth makes talking harder so it forces me to stop and consider my words a bit, gives others a chance to reply
i love that actually, gum helps me with quite a few neurodivergency issues, if i had more access to it id be using it constantly
i always wished there was like a gum that just existed to be chewed on forever and could be washed or something
Sugar-free gum is pretty cheap and won't affect your teeth. You only need to chew it long enough to give your brain a break
