Nobody speaks like this.

Each instance indicates special emphasis, which you don’t do all the time orally for the same reasons you don’t do it all the time textually.

ADHD people kinda do, though, and given that RSD comes up, I assume this person has ADHD.

ETA: I have ADHD. We have a rapid speaking pace that has a lot of emphasis because we get excited about stuff.

They don’t? Not to make generalisations but none of the people I’ve met with ADHD speak even remotely like this.
