[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 59333, member: 45"] My difficult child talks to the TV, his toys, video games, and to himself. He also repeats verbatim lines from TV shows he's seen only a couple of times. All my kids did when they were younger, but the other two grew out of it. difficult child was speech-delayed when he was a toddler, but is now in the normal range. Unlike your difficult child, mine is inappropriate in public. He tries to be very social but his oddities keep kids away or open him up to teasing. husband talks to himself when no one's around or when he's cleaning or cooking or doing some other task. He will also talk to the objects he is working with - food, dishes, vacuum cleaner. When he talks to himself, he will have entire conversations. He asks himself questions and then answers them. He says it helps him think more clearly, because if he doesn't say it out loud he can't think through it as easily. He spends a lot of time out in the garage and most of the time if he's not watching TV he's talking to himself. He was diagnosed with ADHD when he was a kid, but I'm pretty sure it's undiagnosed bipolar now. [/QUOTE]
