[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While the PP's story absolutely sounds like ADHD, I will also note that my kid is very talkative and has days or phases where she can talk like that (very familiar with having to back out of a room like "I'm sorry I have to got to the bathroom, can you finish this story later???"). However she was evaluated for ADHD and not diagnosed. Her psychiatrist thought the talkatively was a reflection of high intelligence mixed with anxiety, and her therapist recommended keeping a daily journal. Which helped![/quote]

ADHD talking is happy "fun" (for the talker).

Anxiety talking is unhappy stressed complaining/worrying and "problem-solving" (but not solving) [/quote]

Yes!!!my child loves to talk and is so happy as he tells me obscure sports facts that he is reading. I totally relate to the poster who says she has coping mechanisms to keep her sanity due to her child’s excessive talking. But he’s so happy to be telling me things!! But yeah, I sometimes need to be like, please stop, please be silent just for a minute. My ears are so tired. [/quote]
