Thankfully the constant random nonstop talking days are replaced now mainly thanks to headphones and playlists . We ALWAYS tried to encourage the habits to be age appropriate….. he KNEW he was uncomfortable but NOT how to cover that- he now does 🙂 Hxx
Why do I get hyperactive or in a socially awkward situation and start talking like mad…
Well, I’ll start off by saying that I’m ALWAYS a bit hyper – i keep moving my hands, tapping, or feet, or fidget. Anyone who knows me knows that. It’s part of my personality. I may as well have it written on my ID.
”Fionn Hamill. 12 years old. Hyper so watch out.”
When i am hyper…i don’t behave badly!
I just need to MOVE and if i am in a position where i can’t move, i TALK!
- loads and loads of random questions and my mouth races –
- i talk really really fast!
- i get a bit clumsy and can fidget
- or move too much in my chair,
- sometimes fall off my chair,
- or drop stuff like pens
- …once i dropped my cornet!
But there is reasons usually, why I’m hyper, but sometimes I’m just really hyper.
But here are the reasons for why I get hyper…
1- if I’m excited about something.
2- if I’m glad that something has happened.
3- if I take lots of sweets and lots of coke.
4- if I’m doing something new
These are the ones that everybody gets hyper about, and here’s for the ones that I think only aspies encounter.
- if I’m worried about something. If I’m worried about something, like if there’s a row at home, I’ll always ask LOADS of questions. But then mum, will always say, ‘ fionn shhhh. Don’t be worried. Me and dad were just arguing over something little, but we don’t hate each other.’ Which makes me quiet. ER
- if a room is quiet. If like we’re having dinner, and there is no conversation, I’ll ask something like” who saw the liverpool game?” Or ” what’s your favourite chocolate and why?” It sometimes work, but usually doesn’t.
I’m always hyper. And I love it. Most the time anyway
and Mum and Dad point it out to me and sometimes
then i can go listen to my quiet music
or I can let off steam by kicking a ball off a wall
or i spin a few times – call it helicopters
or sometimes a HUGE squish helps

Hi Fionn.
Squishy hugs work for me too. Or sandwich hugs, they’re good too. Thats when two people hug you and you are in the middle….like a sandwich!!!
Yeah, you’re probably right about the sweets and coke. I ALWAYS say “but Mum, that doesn’t happen anymore!!” and then it does and I’m Hyperman cos Mum is USUALLY RIGHT (and she is sitting beside me, so I have to say that)
Fionn, have you ever been to W5? We are going there on our school tour and I’m soooooooo excited, cos theres lots of sciencey things. We are not going till june so I’ll probably explode by then. and then I’ll be just a gooey mess!
