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 .
Quick answer:- Yes!
I am the father of a 36 yr old severely Autistic son who says the same things over and over again, While he does not watch TV as such.
He can get "You Tube" and also watches endless dvd's of trains going here there and everywhere. A favourite saying is "The Train now Arriving",.
But it could be just as well be a phrase from his younger days , such as "The Fat Controller is having Breakfast", or "Get on those eggs"! relating to Daffy Duck and a Crocodile, even "Meep Meep" & "Acme Bird seed " "The Road Runner and Wiley Coyote".
As for Bart Simpson he must have the whole collection of videos as a reference to call on, relating actions to verbal utterances memorised as heard, or missheard.
The ultimate is endless cartoons by "Loony Tunes directed by Robert McKimson." being another Phrase copied off the cartoon title as producer.
Bugs Bunny,Tom & Jerry and his "Dear cousin "Muscles" having terrible trouble with Tom. Need your help. Jerry". He can type the letter as punctuated as well.
Unfortunately he has no other language except repititious demands for endless drinks or food as lists he types out by brand as specified we try to ration fizzy drinks and water down and re-bottle, cans are a limited treat.
He has no general comprehension of Language, that means any language except Cartoon in his search to be able to communicate.
He too copied words off the TV but when he was 7 years old. In Those Days it was CEEFAX He taught himself to How to Read them and Write them.
The Trouble was He could not understand what he said or wrote. except perhaps at its most Basic level sufficient to make a list of Foods, Railway stations , Roads, Weather Seasons, dates, Days, Months Years, If it can be listed it will have been listed endlessly again and again.
I am not autistic, but I talk to myself when doing something, I have no Idea why but it seems to assist in solving a problem when working, or trying to understand something complicated.
My son will react violently and strike out to stop talking, if somebody he is with talks to somebody else for longer than a few seconds. This can happen even at home. My Son Needs 2 Carers 24x7 to be on hand, within hearing, should he attack for no apparent reason other than denying him something.
Trying to get Care for him is very difficult.
Whereas my son finds solace in sounds certain speech and music are what he seeks that he know that is being said next as a sound.
Pehaps your Daughter finds a similar solace in the Visual patterns of Words and the sounds that everybody makes.
Try diverting her with standard printer paper to draw on. My son gets through lots.. don't get angry when the walls get covered. We gave up!
