Echolalia - Tumblr Posts
I love how we all seem to have collectively decided that Spencer has echolalia and uses it to communicate when overwhelmed by repeating what people say back to them or quoting some book or statistic.
Why is my echolalia Spanish… I’ve got “knight of the sad-sack” stuck in my head
Am I the only one to have echolalia with mostly onomatopoeias... And japanese
No one has ever told me that the way I mimic their behavior is odd or offensive but I find it to be sometimes, especially if I start picking up on verbal patterns specific to certain ethnic groups. I'm aware that they can see a shift in my behavior and I'm afraid that it'll be taken in a negative way.
It also makes me question what my own personality is because I often just mirror others and adapt to their behavior rather than explore and exhibit my own.
Have neurotypicals ever been offended by your echolalia?
In my experience a lot of people have been surprised or offended by it since I was a child, and I had no idea why until I was in my late teens and realized that they think I’m making fun of them, or even trying to copy them on purpose. Like, no??? I just end up mimicking people I spend a lot of time with, especially if I like them. It’s usually involuntary, it’s a stim I often can’t control and a lot of the time it actually means that I like you and feel comfortable enough around you that I end up echoing your speech.
I realize now that rewatching the ghost chapters with Echolalia is the funniest shit ever. Everytime I watch “Ghost goes Hollywood”, I immediately have to copy everything he says.
It’s gotten to the point of how I will be sitting in French and just.. “I’m looking for John connah-“
And I get stared at..
me: *watching alta*

Autistic and Repeating the Same Phrase Over and Over

Anybody else suffer from echolalia or palilalia?
(repetition of words others have said or you have said, somewhat or fully uncontrollably)
I'm not sure if it's a recent (as in the last year) anxiety tic or some other underlying neoroatypical thing but nonetheless it's annoying
I find it comforting or enjoyable, so sometimes it's on purpose sometimes its not. I'm also hard of hearing so I repeat things to confirm what people have said
My boyfriend seems to think I'm mocking him?? He's been getting annoyed with it the last week so I feel bad about it
