[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 732174, member: 1550"] My son is high functioning autism. He talks to himself when doing tasks. It helps him to think clearly. Now a child/teen who is talking to people who are not really there and about nonsense is different than talking about what you are doing. This could be psychosis. Once I was in a psychiatric hospital for ten weeks and I saw people who were psychotic. These are two very different but possible reasons. In my opinion it is always smart to have a professional evaluation. I prefer highly trained neuropsychologist (psychologists with extra training in the brain). It is hard for parents to be neutral and diagnose their own kids. We always hope the problem is the least serious but we can be wrong and stop them from getting much needed help.Without the interventions my son had, he would not be the sweet, self supporting 24 year old he is today. To me it is worth it. Have a great day!! [/QUOTE]
