Hi I know we´ve been on this subject before but I like to bump it up again. After summer, my ds has started blurting way more than before. It annois me, well to be exact; IT DRIVES ME NUT`S ;D  He just keep´s talking, word´s that are not relevant to the situation at all. Like he got this word "piggie", it come´s out of her mouth like a clockwork, every 5th minute it´s "piggie" Not to mention all those "stupid", DUH and all the other´s.... I know this is common with adhd, but boy, can it be so frustrating I´ve reminded him to think first..how hard can that be  Obviously way too hard  Seem´s like it has settled a bit, but I´ll hold my breath until I say that out loud, because after I say it, I know it´ll start all over. So.... You didnt hear me saying that  I know I´am not the only mom with this... But does anyone have some great solution to this  |

I definately know what you are talking about. Unfortunately I have no suggestions, but I'm curious as to what others have tried.
I think with DD instead of blurting it is more giggling. And that can be so annoying. Sometimes I think she giggles every few seconds. About nothing. It gets old real quick!

Is it blurting as in impulsive talking or is it saying the same word repeatedly? My son does "trash talking" impulsively when he plays video games. Or just nonstop talks to the game. But I see that as a precursor to getting wound up, with Itential for an emotional outburst increasing as he goes on. (I am typing p-o-t-e-ntial, but every time I post it keeps coming up as Itential. What's the deal??) We limit game time, but if he is playing with his gameboy in the car and starts that incessant talking, we just stop his time. When he starts playing, we'll remind him, then it's just gone with no warning. That has worked well with him. We have found that with an immediate consequence, he can control it....it's just alot of work for him. On the other hand, impulsively using a word like stupid as the adjective of choice for every noun you utter is another issue. (But one we have dealt with also..... ) We played the "stupid stinkin' idiot" game for awhile--named because those were the words he was interjecting in every conversation. We made it playful--hence the name. I put 50 dimes in a dish (like I said, he used the words ALOT and I wanted him to be successful) and told him they were my dimes, but at the end of the week, whatever was in the dish belonged to him. Everytime he said one of those words, I took a dime out. If he argued that he didn't say it, I took 2. We did it 3 weeks and it was the best $15 dollars I ever spent. It was also eye opening...he COULD control it if motivated. Don't know if that is helpful to you or not. I understand how this tries your patience....I'll wish for an extra dose for you. ;D |

Blurting, whatever do you mean? Seriously - let's see the most recent one was "chicken soup" - don't know why or where it came from - but every other word was "chicken soup". Last year it was "coconut". When he get's these phrases or words - he is then no longer allowed to say them. "Coconut" has been forever banned from the house unless it is somehow relevant in the conversation - same with "chicken soup". Unless he is asking to eat chicken soup - it better not come out of his mouth!!! |

Austinsmom: I´d say it´s more impulsive talking, trash talking as you said. that mostly, and then this repeating that "piggie"-thing to annoy his little sister´s. I know he can control it, that grincy look after the word makde me believe he know´s very well what he´s saying. Thank you for your idea, that sounded good, I might try it. Eaccae: I feel the same with "piggie", unless he really see´s a pigg, then he might be allowed to use the word, otherwice it´s BANNED in here Linda: shipping him away hmm that´s a thought. What about I´ll ship him to you for a while ;D |

I remember when ds was much younger we had the same thing with the word "eyeball." No, he couldn't even say it if he saw an eyeball, come to think of it! Anyway my ds has Tourette's and I tend to think of these things as OCD/Tourette's related. So -- does your kid have TS or is my kid's blurting ADHD? (Or neither). I can't think of the word for repeating a word -- maybe pallilalia -- but I think of it as a tic.
My kid tends to blurt out his comments in class without raising his hand as well as saying these annoying phrases, and when I told my ds's teacher that he didn't have full-blown OCD, she used his blurting out comments as evidence to me that he DID have OCD. So anyway. Whaddya think?

AustinsMom, What a GREAT idea about the dimes ;D ;D ;D ;D Since Riley has started high school he sometimes thinks he can come home and talk like he does at school (unfortunaly so does my dh when he comes home from work ) But if there is a money incentive involved maybe he will stop?? I am going to start this tatic tomorrow!!! He also has a bad time when he plays video games--I have taken his ps2 away more times then I can count. He will be good for a week and then he is back to his old self--another incentive for the dimes. [glow=red,2,300]Thank you ;D[/glow] ps--I had the same problem last week with spelling when I was replying to a post--once again I just thought it was my computer |

Christie - 90% of his blurting happens either when his coming down from or not on his meds. It is the same with singing - he sings EVERYTHING (luckily he is always on key) - instead of talking he sings and then he sings the same phrase over and over and over . . . He was once in tears because he couldn't stop - music must be playing in his head - every sentence comes out in song . . . (It is cute every once in awhile - other times I try not to let it bother me and there are some days I am going to pull my hair out!). I don't know what causes it - but it seems to vanish when he is on his meds.
Now dd who we are watching for OCD has her own set of words - "eyeball" being one of them, "potato" is the other. Unlike DS - these words haven't changed in two years . . .

Eaccae Mine sign´s too, although he sing´s actuall song´s what he has hear over. Nice sometime´s , annoing some other time´s I dont think it´s OCD, word´s change etc. I think it´s more impulse control... Now when you mention this, he has been home sick and no med´s Mayby that´s what triggered them this time |

OH boy have I found a place that others deal with the same thing.......LOL Sorry sometimes you wonder does ANYONE else deal with this. I just TG for message boards since its the only place I've found to have ppl relate My son is 7 and I swear he'll repeat phrases/sentences maybe switch up wordings in them it's like he doesn't know if you heard him OR he's repeating them to himself just outloud. Which i think a lot of my son's talking is that he just doesn't seem to be able to talk in his head kinda thing YKWIM? I'm sure someone does. I have noticed I've done similar things as he does BUT I was also told I didn't have Adult ADD after taking some test online. I was like ok MAYBE that test isn't right but do you think we could actually FIND out for real? My therapist wouldn't do it. EM |
