  1. Echolalia: Definition, Types, Causes

  2. Echolalia: What Is It? Echolalia is the term used to describe repeating another person’s words. It is a recurring action that frequently seems pointless but is thought to serve several goals. It is not a one-off incident or the occasionally repeating or quoting someone to make a point, for clarification, or some other cause. According to NCBI, echolalia is frequently linked to autism (roughly 75% of autistic children exhibit echolalia symptoms). This symptom is also present in people with ADHD. 2

  3. Types Of Echolalia There are various categories for echolalia. It is distinguished by time frame, for example: Immediate echolalia: The immediate or quick repetition of phrases or words. Delayed echolalia: The repetition of phrases or words after a long time. It is distinguished by purpose, for example: Functional echolalia: used to connect or communicate with others. Noninteractive echolalia: used chiefly for one’s advantage or the convenience and rarely as a tool of interpersonal communication. According to the National Centre Of Biotechnology Infomation, Echolalia can be reduced, which suggests that when someone repeats anything, they make a minor adjustment to the words. 2

  4. Echolalia: Symptoms and Causes According to National Institute On Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, Echolalia frequently may arise when a person lacks or doesn’t use the standard language for communication. This may result from an ASD diagnosis or a linguistic delay. Examples comprise: When asked, “what did you have for supper?” a person can respond, “what did you have for dinner,” and then wait for someone to ask something more specific. Alternatively, they might repeat something spoken to them during the meal, such as “don’t slurp your pasta.” The person may ask, “do you want juice?” to suggest that they would like juice or are thirsty, or they may sing the jingle of a product to indicate it is what they would like for lunch. Even though it doesn’t correspond to the behavior, a youngster may tell another child, “we don’t take our friend’s toys,” when the other child is doing something they don’t like. They are reiterating a word or phrase they have heard to express criticism of a particular action. If they want to control their behavior, they could repeat it themselves. 2
