[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 449746, member: 1991"] "Describe what it is like inside your head. I want to see how it compares to the inside of my head." Purely information-gathering, he may accept this. He may be wary if he has now been led to believe it is not normal, but reassure him that some level of internal dialogue is normal. The difference is whether the voices have their own reality and are causing concern. There are a lot of misconceptions about Asperger's, including that they have no imagination. But they can have indeed very vivid imaginations, as well as extreme ability to focus on the fine detail. As I did, analysing thoughts. If I could have put a chemical formula to thoughts, I would have. I had no frame of reference for 'normal'. I have since learned a lot more about how we lay down memory and how thoughts work, and realised that I simply had a mind that worked differently, but was still 'right'. Just a tad more detailed, that's all. And it still is, which is why I am now a writer. Marg Marg [/QUOTE]
