[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 112866, member: 3907"] Marg, My difficult child does this sort of thing all the time. He talks his thoughts, and repeats words and phrases over and over. If you explain that it's not a good time for conversation, he will continue to talk until he has finished what he has to say, whether anyone is there to listen or not. difficult child also seems to do the same thing with music. When he is playing the piano, he will play the same note over and over. Even when he's playing music on his stereo, he will play a phrase or a bit of a song over and over and over. (He has killed my enjoyment of several former favourite songs this way) With regard to the speech pattern, I have this pattern as well. I can't start talking out loud until the thought has formed in my head completely. If I get interrupted in midstream, I have to go back to the beginning and start again. It's almost like the thought is a computer program that has to execute. Once it's started it has to run all the way through to completion. If it's interrupted, you have to start it again in order to get it to work properly. If I'm speaking to someone with whom I'm very comfortable (husband and one or 2 very close friends), I can start talking before the thought has formed, but I have to talk very slowly. It's like sending a large document to a printer...part of it spools, I can speak it out loud, then the rest fills in and I can speak that part, until the whole thought is complete. Again, if I get interrupted, it all falls to pieces. If I'm speaking on the fly and get interrupted, I usually have great difficulty reassembling the thought. Since the thought didn't get fully formed in my head, I'm not quite sure how the pieces of it fit together. It does seem to be a very Aspie trait. (Seeing this thread actually makes me feel much better, as I thought it was just a flaw in my own ability to think and process information) Trinity [/QUOTE]
