My 6 years old son is talking to himself constantly all the time!!! Even at bedtime! And if he wakes up at night he starts talking and cannot fall asleep back! Mostly whispering to himself! He make up stories, nonsense talk and gibberish words. He is not interacting with us, not playing with his brother as before. It's been 5 weeks since this has started. Also, he doesn't respond to questions as he is busy talking to himself! Cannot pay attention and laugh while talking. He says things like " Kung fo Panda ass did a poo" and lots of crab talk. He walks, run and jump while talking and laughing, nonstop! He seems entrapped in his inner space. We try to grab his attention, playing with him but he doesn't respond! Only he asks for food/drink when he wants!
He is already behind and not progressing well at school. We believe that his is a clever boy but not reaching his potential!
I'm so depressed seeing my son like that and have fears that it's gonna persist! Even at school he is not paying attention and muttering all the time :(
