Hi there. My son who is now nearly 8 (in July) has always complained of noises in his head from the age of 5. He describes it as shouting, especially contributed to loud external noises, but even a quiet times. It s still difficult for him to explain but I think he gets shouting in his head most days, school seems to be getting worse. He is diagnosed with SPD Semantic Pragmatic Disorder (on a very low scale) you wouldn t know he has autism except social awareness, ability to conform and challenges authority ... have you come accross this? Thank you
Hearing new voices commanding some actions is not a feature of ASD. It may occur due to some associated mental health conditions. Patients with autism spectrum disorders often have auditory processing disorders. This means they hear things that are there, but they perceive it differently than most people, which can lead to things like mistaking a dog barking in the distance for a voice saying something.
