Voices in head?

NAS72680

Hi Everyone,

My daughter is 6 and has autism with a possible pda profile, she has behaviour that challenges with daily dysregulations.

I wanted to see if anyone had any experience of either themselves or someone that they know of who speaks to someone 'imaginary' after a dysregulation. My daughter always seems to deal with a dystegulation by having a conversation with herself but also seemingly to be talking with someone else...

She has had conversations with school staff who she told someone in her head tells her to do these things but since then has never mentioned it.

Earlier this morning she had a dysregulation and said that mum hates us. I asked her who we was and she said her sister, who had no involvement in the earlier upset.

Can anyone advise or have experience of this? What is the next step?

Thanks for reading

  • sorry but you need to question whether the autism diagnosis was correct on this and whether she has schizoprhenia instead.

    hearing voices is schizophrenia.... its understandable why she was diagnosed with autism at first because they are both very similar, but when its autism like symptoms added with hallucinations or delusions then its schizophrenia. once autism was considered on the schizophrenia spectrum before they seperated it and made it its own thing, just to give you a idea of how easy it is to mix the 2

    You make a good point Caelus....and I would extend (loosely)  that the messy mix to untangle extends further too when you can feel as I do quite often as;

    AUD +/- PDA +/- ADHD +/- BPD +/- SCHIZ +/- MPD +/- ETC

    It's all rather too enigmatic for my tastes.

    A cake is a cake.  What's your flavour ?

    Be happy.
