My best friend has an autistic step kid who struggles with the idea that people didn't want to hear 30 minutes of info dumping at you. So one thing we tried was, say 4 sentences and then ask a question about what they were thinking about xyz topic. That gave the person a chance to either continue the conversation, or disengage.

My daughter was totally like that, her twin brother completely the opposite. His first full sentence, “Sister, no talk now.” 🤣🤣

People have never believed me about my son's expansive vocabulary. But I've never baby talked him. The other day he had a little spice in his tone, he realized it, stopped, looked at me and said "that was a little condescending right? I'm sorry."

Every marking period on every report card said I talked too much. So I became a public speaking teacher. Turn lemons into lemonade.

I had a niece who talked in full sentences of gibberish until she actually learned words. Like six months+ where she’d talk to everyone and we’d just go along as if we understood.

This was my childhood. It wasn’t til I was a teen that they recognized that constant talking as part of my ADHD. I still will talk too much, overshare too much and let thoughts come out before I filter them without my medication. It took a lot of learning and my meds to help get to a point that my talking was socially appropriate

my son is the same. I find it challenging bc I need silence some times and as a single mom I never get a break until he goes to bed and even then he is talking just not nearly as much.

one of my nieces is like this she literally doesn't stop talking until she's asleep. and she says the funniest things that come to her mind. she needs to learn she can't say everything too. we were at an agility trial once and she asked really loudly "why are they all old ladies?"

The commentary of him saying oh look in the wild 🤣 convinced my 4 year old will just get more unhinged.

My toddler is the same way!! My partner was taking me to airport and our son was in the back in his car seat, just singing and chatting. My partner looked over at me and said in a whisper, “ this kid hasn’t shut up since he woke up, that’s like 3.5 hours!” 😂😁

My mom has ADHD and I honestly didn't realize being interrupted and interrupting people is rude for a very long time. Like, I am generally completely unbothered by being interrupted or being talked over. I just keep on going. we literally talk to each other at the same time sometimes, and it's an actual conversation.
my wife thought I just didn't listen to people at all till she hung out with me, my mom and my grandma for the first time. we're just birds tweeting away lol.
