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?

This actually sounds more like a bipolar trait - also part of the neurodiverse spectrum.
This is something you should speak to a therapist for advice on since it may be something that will respond best to medication, but that would be for the specialists to decide.
If you get referred to a psychiatrist then don't worry - it is only because only psychiatrists can normally prescribe mediacation for this.
I only read about in a book called Untypical by Pete Wharmby. He said he experienced with his own voice I agreed. It only came to light in my mind when I had read the book and had never thought of it before.
I have listened to that audiobook 3 times now. I love it
