I know a lot of people on the spectrum are not very talkative....are there spectrumites who are just too talkative? Does that happen?

Yes there are. I was very talkative growing up and I have an autistic friend who is very talkative.

Yep. We're either extremely quiet or too loud, and some of us are in between. My talkability (real term) depends on how much energy I've got. A less energetic me isn't going to feel like talking and a very hyper me will talk to house plants. Actually I talk out loud to myself a lot.
