It's common in neurodivergent people.

It was a big problem for me for a long time. The words are in my head, but my mouth couldn't articulate the sounds and sometimes it was literal nonsense sounds that came out my mouth.

Weirdly enough, it turned out that I had a sensitivity to eggs that was making that (and my mental health) a lot worse.*

Even now, ten years on, when I can articulate a long sentence without tripping over my words, it still feels like a little victory.

This is a completely different thing from mutism btw.

*Unfortunately, the price of lower anxiety and better speech was losing a lot of my neutral/useful autistic traits as well.
