Considering how often we have #echolalia and thus might repeat a cuss our parents used, I imagine a lot more #Autistic kids had their mouth washed out than we can figure. I'm grateful it wasn't on my damncestor's list of punishments for ME. Soap is one of my BIGGEST aversions.

My obsession with The Dude, is a complicated, a lotta ins, a lotta outs and a lotta what-have-yous!

I wrote about surviving the square world as an #ActuallyAutistic person, work and adulting woes, comfort viewing and Echolalia in The Big Lebowski!

Had my first #SpanishLanguage #echolalia today, which I guess means my #LanguageLearning is coming along well lmao

For fans of the #weird. A good one! Found some interesting new terms in it, like #echolalia or #vernichtungskopfschmerz

The book itself is not the easiest text for non-native speakers, though

@actuallyautistic If you know what #echolalia and #palilalia is: i always feel the urge to speak out loud words, company names or sentences i read. Do you experience similar feelings? Is there a name for that (that i could speak out loud^^)?

@paul You had me at #echolalia. We are already there.

A wacky function of my #echolalia is that bits will occur to me and I won’t know where they came from.

Like right now I have, “I don’t remember much of my formative years. For one, I was a child at the time.”

But I don’t know where that came from!!!

It's funny to notice things I've done over 10 years ago or longer & finally understanding they were autism all along. During my studies I had this thing where I would turn certain "ih" or "eh" sounds in words into a long, emphasized and happy "weeeeeeeeeeeeee!". It was very fun! #echolalia #ActuallyAutistic

#autistic scripting is just self #echolalia

Nobody's perfect. It's always easier said than done. But if you want to practice self-care, and you want to have more peaceful and enjoyable days and nights, then tips like these will take you a long way. Your goal is progress, not perfection. You can do it. Peace. (PMM)♧

Rest. You deserve rest. Don't apologize for resting, or for taking care of yourself. Leisure time is as important as work time. You can't be always "on", without burning yourself out. There's a little known but logical old proverb that says, 'when you find that you have dug yourself into a hole, stop digging.' Rest. You do deserve it. Peace be with you. (PMM)♧

@Jessica Yes, and #echolalia is itself a #spectrum. It can be literally repeating words and phrases, and for different purposes. It can also involve filling in vocabulary with heard words and phrases.

My son has always done it and it continues to trip up “#professionals.” I have to remind them to inquire if his #expression strikes them as unusual. Don’t always assume he’s being literal. @actuallyautistic #actuallyautistic

I didn't realise #echolalia was even a thing until I started to see it mentioned when reading material on being #ActuallyAutistic. I then dismissed it as something not relevant to me as I didn't think I did it.

However, after some reflection, I realise I actually do it in two circumstances:

First, I do it to confirm I heard and agree with someone. For example, today someone said to me "...and then we'll let it stay in the warm oven", to which I immediately replied "let it stay in the warm oven".

I think this may also be because I've learned communication skills by studying others and repeating phrases heard elsewhere in attempts to try and sound normal. So when a good phrase is right there in front of me, it seems I'll say it back straight away, even if it was just spoken to me mere moments ago.

Secondly, I seem to repeat nice phrases when in need of comfort. For example, an audiobook I listened to earlier said "...she snuggled down in the cozy blanket", and I instantly said quietly to myself "snuggled down in the cozy blanket", which made me feel better.

It seems I'm still learning about who I am, and I'm thankful to have the space and time to reflect on myself and my actions, because I've been repeating people my whole life, but it never occurred to me what I was doing. Now I know!

just discovered Holderness videos. now I cant stop saying "Leaf.. Leaf Raker."
