Echolalia and Autism Podcast

Today I’m talking about echolalia. During my time where I’ve been out visiting other schools and classroom, I always find it surprising how little people knew about it. And some didn’t know anything about it! Echolalia is where phrases and words are repeated. And this can actually be a sign of autism. This isn’t to be confused with young children copying you as they grow older. That’s a natural process for language development. This is more of a sign when the repetition continues on, after those young toddler years.
