Adult daughter with Autism

Hi I haven't been on here before do it's all new to me . My daughter is 31 yes old and her autism is getting worse . She as started talking to her self and saying random words out loud all the time . I am so worried about her is it normal for an autistic person to do .

  • "suffer" is quite a strong word to use, but yes I do, it can range from short sentences to certain word's which gives me a buzz, most of the time what I say is unrelated to anything, but if someone asks I quickly think of something to say to relate it to something.

    What helps me is that if someone is in the area when I say something, go along with it and say something to follow on from what I've said, for example, something I say alot at the moment is "I've got to go uptown", so they say, "you can't go uptown, shops are shut", what I say doesn't mean I want to go uptown, but it helps to distract and puts less of a spotlight on it Slight smile
