I have always had an internal voice like a narrator in my head of my own voice

Hi everyone 

Through out my life because of my autism I have always had an internal voice like a narrator in my head of my own voice.  I find it really difficult to switch off as it constantly scripting future conversations with people.  I have try doing mindful activities to make it stop and it make hard to sleep at night.  I was wondering if anyone had advice on it?

  • I think visually. Don’t have an internal monologue. If I’m anxious about something, I see what I’m anxious about as opposed to having those classic “what if” thoughts. If I get anxious my partner gonna crash the car and die, I see the impact and the destruction, I don’t think “she’s gonna die” so for me everything is visual, apart from songs which are usually playing in my head
