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

  • I talk to myself all the time, it's how I think in order to just move through the world I'm constantly asking myself questions. Some times I get a bit too "in my own head" and i think I've answered someone when they've asked me something but I didn't I just said it my head like, Mum will ask if I want a tea or something I'll say yes and she waves in my direction to get my attention to answer her Joy
