Constant talking

mazzamchardy
  1. My daughtet is  21. Just finished her photography degree and so proud of her as she.has aspergers . But because of lockdown, my shielding and uni closing we have been stuck here together for months. Im reaching breaking point close to a breakdown because she talks constantly no let up  . I love her so much but what can I do ????

  • Hi Mazzamchardy

    Constant talking is common - we tend to do 'open thinking' so all the internal dialogue you have going on inside your head just naturally verbalises so you get to hear what we think in real time.     As she gets older, it might calm down and she'll have better things to think about so it won't be as distracting.   It can also be a sign of internal stress - is she busy with hobbies or friends or stuck in the house all day?

    It can be an advantage or a disadvantage in relationships - the openness can make a very simple and close bond - but also risks being taken advantage of.

    Sad to say she has no friends to spend time with which puts more pressure on me. Any friendships she had previously always go wrong and disappear quickly. She keeps busy but wants to involve me in everything. I try my best to understand but as you rightly say can be taken advantage of.  If I ask for quiet time she takes offence. Thank you very much for replying it really does help.
