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
That's me!!!!! I have full blown conversations, have ever since I was a child. I've always preferred to converse with "imaginary friends" than with "real" people. It's not that I don't like people...I actually consider myself a "people-person". I just get so wrapped up in these amazing conversations I have with my IFs that I don't always want to come back to "earth". Also, I occasionally go inexplicably mute when I met new people, so that makes holding actual conversations hard.
me to. I though that everyone talked to themselves
