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 crap 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! He also stares to the space and to faces!
Only he asks for food/drink when he wants! When we force him to speak to us, he answers very short and go back to the muttering!
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.
He has a referral for adhd assessment due to his impulsive behaviour at school, but it's gonna take two years waiting!
Due to the impulsive behaviour and not progressing well at school, he has one to one support and not working with his peers since the start of the school this year. But we can't see any progress in his learning!
