On The Nature Of Autistic Echolalia
Revisiting Echolalia In Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorderecholalia – The Repetition Of Sounds, Words Or Sentences – Is Common During Language Development In Toddlers And Also Among People With Autism Spectrum Disorder (Asd). It May Be More Than A Meaningless Stereotypical Behaviour And Play A Role In Communication. With The Support Of The Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Programme, The Echautism Project Will Investigate Whether Echolalia In Individuals With Asd May Be A Late-Onset Form Of Typical Speech Imitation And Whether It Can Function As A Strategy For Language Acquisition.
