Guest guest Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 YES!!! And then the poor guy (10 yrs old) gets so frustrated with me because I have not idea what he's talking about.

I don’t know how many times I’ve said “were you just speaking in English?†lol Cause I have NO idea what he’d just said. Throw in the Aspie processing issues, and the inevitable “studderâ€, and oh my gosh, I have to have him repeat himself several times when he’s excited or upset LOL Oh the joys =) From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Lori LashleySent: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 11:08 PM Subject: ( ) MOTOR MOUTH SYNDROME! Hi all Among all the fun Aspie quirks, how many of you get to enjoy the Motor Mouth Syndrome? Gosh I love my son, but sometimes my husband and I would just like for him to stop talking for 2 minutes!! (or have something worthwhile to talk about—you know how it is—either go from topic to topic or go on forever about something NO ONE else cares about!) If he’s not being a Motor Mouth, then he is alone in his room—usually on the computer. It’s one extreme or the other!! Anyone share in our cRaZiNeSs?

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Mike, this is so true for us too. After school esp. He gets in the car and I ask "How was your day?" Reply: "Good" "Anything happen?" "No" I know he's just got other things going on in his head at that moment, like what order he's going to do his homework in and what his "plans" are for the rest of the day. But it is frustrating.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 We call it Mack's Monologue! He just rambles on & on about things that no one else knows about. Of course, no perspective of the listener & no pauses for comments or questions from the listener. When he got to be around 14, I tried explaining the difference between a conversation & a monologue. It didn't help much, but I could cue him by saying "monologue" and he would stop for a second or two.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 That is so familiar, Jen. I have to ask pointed questions like "did you make it to your trumpet lesson?" or "did you get that test grade back" to find out more From: justkrafts@...Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 00:12:13 -0400Subject: Re: ( ) MOTOR MOUTH SYNDROME!
