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

  • No you are not Autistic, this is just an excuse. You are just eccentric that's all. I talk to myself, I am shifty eyed, I will only relate to women who are exceptionally beautiful, I have "funny" ideas, I like thigs to be neat and orderly, I like maths, I become very focused on things that interest me. I am not Autistic, I am eccentric.
