[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 95516, member: 3907"] Our difficult child does this as well, and he's done it since he first learned to string words together. SO calls it "talking his thoughts", because difficult child will just spout off whatever random idea enters his head. He even mumbles in his sleep. Like many people on the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) spectrum, difficult child is hyper-auditory. Sounds that most people just tune out or don't even hear are very loud and disturbung to him. One of difficult child's doctors (can't remember whether it was the therapist, pediatrician or neuro) suggested that difficult child talks loudly all the time to drown out all of the noises of the world. So...we got difficult child a set of noise-cancelling headphones...like the ones that jackhammer operators wear. They seem to help him a lot...he doesn't talk nearly so much when he's wearing them. Of course, the other kids teased him mercilessly when he wore them at school, so we substituted an MP3 player. It had the same effect, and the added benefit of being "cool". (The only drawback to the music player is that he sings along...out loud and out of tune. But...it's better than the constant talking) Best of luck, Trinity [/QUOTE]
