A member asked:
Is delayed echolalia always related to autism?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Between 8-20 months: It can be part of typical language development, if used for representational play, e.g., "no, no, dolly!" in the same inflections used earlier by mom. Joint attention (child & parent are interested in the same object or event) precedes social communication. Kids with autism may use a tv/video "script" to communicate, e.g., repeat " ow, that hurt" in caillou's voice to say " i stubbed my toe.".
