A member asked:
Echolalia and autism spectrums, can you tell me about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immediate echo-: lalia is repeating words or phrases just heard. Delayed echolalia is repeating "snippets" heard previously, often from a video or TV show. Repeating what a person said previously can be part of typical language development at 8-20 months, if used in appropriate play or to communicate a feeling or need. Joint attention precedes reciprocal social communication. "It Takes Two to Talk' is a good book.
