Echolalia is the repetition of words,phrases and sounds made by another person. It is a complex tic thats associated with Tourette's Syndrome, Autism ,Asperger syndrome. When involuntary, echolalia may be considered a tic. Echolalia comes in two different forms. One is called immediate echolalia and the other is called delayed echolalia.
Immediate echolalia, causes the immediate repetition of a word or phrase.
A typical pediatric presentation of echolalia might be as follows: a child is asked "Do you want dinner?"; the child echoes back "Do you want dinner?", followed by a pause, and then a response, "Yes. What's for dinner?"
In delayed echolalia, a phrase is repeated after a delay, such as a person with autism who repeats TV commercials, favorite movie scripts, or parental reprimands.
