Is it normal for an aspie (with adhd) to not be able to keep thoughts in their head? Ie; vocalise everything that comes into their mind?

Also he has music on one of his electronic devices and I repeatley ask him to turn it off (as he is in a main room) he turns it off and turns it back on like five mins later is he being defiant or just forgetting or ?

Maybe he doesn't realise you mean "Turn it off and keep it off"?
I find that games just aren't the same without the music. Does the device have an option to use headphones?

Yeah I've tried turn it off and keep it off unless you want to take it to another room or you can put your headphones in he refuses both options but just turns it back up again five mins later. He does it slowly too.

While i'm at it nose picking is a big thing for him working with the OT on a replacement behavior but it just chruns my stomach He isn't my bio child so I can't do anything to stop it apart from say don't do that and make him wash his hands when he does. However I'm wondering if its behavioral rather than sensory because he does know he is doing it in that he hid behind the couch so he could do it without being seen?

When I was a kid, I could be defiant about things like that. I used to listen to my music on full blast in my room. When told to turn it down, I would turn it back up 5-10 min. later. As far as the nose picking thing, he should not be producing so many boogers. Yes, they can be really annoying and sometime blowing the nose can be overstimulating but has to be done anyway. Probably needs to be checked for allergies or sinus infection.
