Autism and talking to yourself

Hi,

I'm almost certain I have ASD for many reasons (haven't been tested yet), and when I'm on my own I constantly talk to myself, it's not just the odd word or line, I'm talking to myself & 'thinking out loud' most of the time I'm alone. For example, I might have a thought about a certain video I like, and I'll say "One second and I'll show you it" when there's nobody there, almost as if I'm pretending to talk to someone. Sounds very odd, I know. Would this be related with ASD?

Thanks!

Jake

    Hi Jake!

    I do this so much! I actually find it to be really comforting. Sometimes I use an American accent or pretend to be my favourite characters from shows. I have an Autistic brother and he talks out loud to himself a lot too! I think it is very much an ASD trait!
