Poor / No speech long term

I have suffered from poor speech for over 30 years - when I had a head injury
I can't actually form the words that I am trying to impart....its extremely frustrating....
I am medically retired from work (I was a civil servant for 30 years followed by a IT engineer for the local authority 10 years)
I wonder whether there are others out there in a similar position
It's my 60th birthday today.........

Happy Birthday!
I've had very limited speech for the past couple of years, but that's mostly due to throat and digestive issues.
Prior to that I was always shy & quiet (and likely on the autism spectrum) so it's been impossible to get this understood as a separate issue.

Sorry nothing to contribute - just want to say happy birthday as well.
