I never had echolalia during childhood, but I started having echolalia as I got older. What does that mean?
I started to constantly copy cat sounds, as I also like cats, although I try to hide my echolalia, because I am worried that some people might get annoyed by it.
You know I don’t think I’ve ever actually met in person a person who has echolalia. I absolutely understand the notion of talking as a form of stress relief. If I’m stressed I talk to myself excessively, I often narrate my own actions, it helps me focus on the task at hand in stressful situations, like I’m writing on and ticking things off a checklist at the same time. but repeating things other people say no. I have far too much in my own head to bother fixating on repeating others words.

Oh yes, I recognise that.
