Autism and talking to yourself

Joe1087

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 when I'm on my own. I have quite a busy brain, so it helps me put my thoughts in order. I tend to go over my to-do lists for each day, vocalise my thoughts and ideas on things, and sometimes rehearse conversations that I want to have with actual people. No shame in that!
