Constant talking

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.

I bought the cards. I don't care if they're for kids, but these are going to make it where asking for alone time--don't want to talk--much easier not to take offense. It's important for you to get what you need to-so you don't become resentful. I admit, this sounds like me to. My mom is my best friend & I have 1 & lots of aquaintences. There is energy accounting, talking might be giving you too many withdrawals or maybe at the end of the day when you're having dinner/relaxing would be better. Have you been dx'd yourself for autism or felt it resonated with you?

This is pulling the wrong pic so some reason. There's a card that says, "I want quiet." For many of us, it's common that our mom is our best friend. Still, we gotta make sure momma is comfy/happy. She'll make friends here. It's hard.
