Sometimes, and for no particular reason, I say something out loud. I’m not sure if this is some sort of manifestation of Tourette’s, it isn’t usually anything obscene, I sometimes surprise myself and am left wondering why I said it as it seems to have no relevance to anything. I also count under my breath as I’m walking, sometimes people hear me mumbling and I’m immediately embarrassed. I’ve always done this, but only recently come to the conclusion that it might be an autistic thing…anybody else do this weird stuff?
my son he talks out loud, but only since being on antipsychotics drugs which he is just withdrawing from after 13 years, he is almost 30. But you saying what you have said might be a compilation of the drugs plus beinfg Autistic. Staff at hospital used to say he was talking to people and psychotic. but the few realised he was acting out his computer game or a convo, but he woluld play all the parts, i have heard him.
