What the title says. Every time I gain a new hyperfixation/spinterest I experience this phenomenon where (if it is a media and not a concept/hobby) I talk to the characters in my head and we have full blown conversations and stuff. When I was little I used to have imaginary friends up until I was about 11 or 12 years old (which caused teachers to be concerned about me but I was not diagnosed with autism until age 15) and I would physically talk to them out loud. I realized that I’m basically doing the same thing but in my head, and I occasionally do talk to myself quietly, volleying the conversation between me and “them”. Is this strictly an autism thing or do I need to potentially look back into getting professional help for this??? Now before anyone asks, I don’t think it’s plurality because these characters can’t gain control of me, I just talk to them and they talk to me. But yeah. Anyone else experience the same thing? Sorry if this whole thing sounds weird, I’m having trouble wording this properly (+ please ask me to further elaborate if needed).
