[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When DC turned 4 started doing a lot of delayed echolalia. We have a developmental pediatric appointment coming up, but I'm just wondering if there are kids out there who didn't test on the spectrum but still do this. TIA.[/quote] Echolalia and scripting are different things. True echolalia is a sign of autism. Scripting happens in all kinds of kids; it's very common in MERLD kids, for example. And kids with weak auditory memories are sometimes repeating things to help remember them. And if a kid has had a lot of speech therapy, there are "taught" echolalia: They are expected to parrot back everything the speechie says. Then when the child continues on with the skill he has been conditioned with (repeating), they try to say it's echolalia. [/quote]
