[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 105669, member: 1991"] I've said before, I have very little frame of reference for what is 'normal'. difficult child 3 talks to himself all the time. Last night when difficult child 1 was watching a TV documentary on eagles, I was concerned when I heard difficult child 3 talking; I thought he was bothering his brother (it took a lot of effort to drag difficult child 1 away from his computer games to watch the documentary). Turned out, difficult child 3 was in his bedroom alone. He does this a lot, especially when his medications have worn off in the evenings. But even during the day, he will share virtually every thought in his head. When he is quiet, then I know he is really focussed on something (and I hope it is his schoolwork). Not socialising - that would worry me. Again, difficult child 3 doesn't socialise normally. His best friends are all younger than him, about two thirds his age. Most are also very bright. One big exception - I found out last night that difficult child 3's friend from Drama class is 17. Because of his developmental delay, friend seems to be about 10 years old. They only relate together on computer game level; they play games together, difficult child 3 helps train his friend how to play better. husband often talks out loud, usually a low mumble. But then he talks to me, also at a mumble, it's sometimes hard to tell when he's just thinking aloud or when he's asking me a question! It's worse when he's tired or distracted; but then, we have been wondering for some time about husband's status as a possible Aspie. Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) doesn't just run in our family; it gallops! Marg [/QUOTE]
