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

  • I used to do this as a child. I was always talking to myself and invented friends to talk to because I felt I couldn't talk to anybody else and not many other children were interested in being friends, so I decided to make my own.

    I was almost diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2020 but I've now found out I'm autistic so it could be that or become that later in her life but it seems unlikely to be that now given her age.

    Might be an idea to consult a professional to see what's going on. Good luck.
