talking to myself inside my head, is it normal for autistic?

What you are using is one of several forms of thought; perfectly normal when you sort out details, etc.
Other forms are the type you use when you make decisions without having to think about them.

If you have to agonize over every detail of everything this will obviously take up more of your time.

I use what seems comfortable at the time.

I talk to myself in my head. I'll simultaneously advocate different courses of action, and sometimes there will be booing or cheering, or I'll step in and tell myself to stop being so rude and strawmanning or I'll be thrown out and I'll have the floor to myself.

That's normal for everyone, not a part of ASD or a symptom of psychosis or anything. Some ASDers actually have less of an internal dialog because they're more visual thinkers (think in pictures or images). I think in words, not pictures.

everyone does that surely, otherwise there would be nothing going on in peoples head. you have a speaking voice in your head that is you that goes through things thinks things. I have conversations with myself, for example when trying to work out what I want to do today I will ask myself what I have to do than answer my own question.

I don't visualise anything though so speech in my head is the only thing that's there.

Not really, I'd say that's actually a pretty common thing.

I've noticed that it helps to have a little mental conversation going about what I should do whenever I'm trying to work something out in my head. I think it's just sort of a natural habit that helps you work through the decision making process.

Yes. Lately I've been talking to myself aloud when no one is around to hear it. I'm a little afraid that when I get older I will stop caring if people hear and start muttering to myself in public.

I do this all the time. I think of it as practicing being in a dialogue. I practice debate arguments in my head where I have a mental voice presenting arguments and I mentally talk over the counter arguments.

Other than that, my "inner monologue" isn't always verbal (I mean I don't always think in words). A lot of the time when I think of something, I see an image of the person or object, or if it's an action, it's like there's a short video of the action playing out. There aren't always mental words that go along with my thoughts.

Now that I think about it, this may be why I sometimes have trouble in face to face conversations. It takes time and mental energy to convert my visual based thoughts into words.

It's standard opperating for me. I expected it was normal, but apparently not.

I constantly have a running dialog with myself, explaining things to myself, or I'm re-living an encounter that happend in the past / or will happen in the future.

Sometimes I have moments of "did I say that out loud or just think it?"

Ditto!! !

I make it even worse on myself by wearing wax earplugs which block outside noise allowing myself to hear me more clearly!

24/7, and it never stops.

I've been having deep conversations in my head since I was a teenager at school. It's like I'm imagining a person is always there next to me (although I don't imagine no image or anything), and I am chatting away to him or her, mostly about what is going on right at the present.

I tell you, if I could chat to everyone around me the way I do in my head, I would be an excellent communicator and also extremely popular. It's such a shame I can only have deep conversations in my head, and then to most people (other than close family) I sound like a shy nervous wreck.

AGREED! I once just posted a status on facebook that said:
"My brain is brilliant, just brilliant! If only I could verbally tell people what I say to myself, the things I say and come up with are just brilliant! Too bad no one will ever know but me."

It is very sad indeed how great I am at communicating whilst in my head.

I'm reading that book "Start", and the author says it is common for all types of people to have conversations in their mind. He points out that usually we hear negative voices telling us that whatever we want to do will fail. Once upon a time when I attended a certain 12 step group's meeting these voices were referred to as "the committee", and the messages they tell us are almost always negative.

Internal dialogue with yourself, as opposed to actual dialogue with people.

I talk to myself all the time, especially when I'm bored, and sometimes when I'm really absorbed in something I'm reading or thinking about, I'll go on these really long monologues even though there's no one else around to hear them. When I was younger, I even went through a period where I had conversations with myself, and someone once caught me doing this and told me something along the lines of "talking to yourself is normal, but replying is a sign of insanity".
