How about child that keeps wanting you to repeat? You don’t repeat but they keep coming to you trying to make you repeat it and if you don’t they will keep on for an hour after you and even get aggressive. How do you handle that? Please give me a tip!
Thanks so much for creating this video. My son is 3 years old and began scripting/delayed echolalia as early as 18 months old. I didn’t understand at first what it was, so I allowed him to watch TV shows like Peppa Pig and play the Khan Academy Kids app on my phone. He soon began memorizing all the Peppa episodes word for word and uses a British accent when reciting the scripts (we are Americans). He memorized the lessons in the app as well, and can recite long scripts about the solar system, the seven continents, various animal species, etc. His functional language is improving, but I decided to cut off all screen time, both TV and apps. It’s been about 3 weeks and I do see more engagement from him, better eye contact, etc. However, the scripting is still happening all day from the moment he wakes up until he goes to bed. He reenacts Peppa Pig scenes and wants me to repeat everything he says. I’m trying to reduce my repetition and model functional language for him. I worry that, while his functional language is increasing, his love of these scripts is “keeping them alive” in his brain, so to speak. He doesn’t want to give them up. As you said, they are comforting to him. I am taking him out in the world more - going to play cafes, parks, etc. in hopes that he will lose some interest in the scripting, but so far I don’t see much of a change. I realize it’s only been a few weeks, but I am afraid it’s too late and he has these scripts in his head and won’t move on. Is there anything else I can do? We do see a SLP who specializes in scripting, and we are starting with an OT to help create a sensory diet for him. Is there anything else I can do? Please tell me he will speak normally one day! Or please let me know what is realistic to expect. Thank you.
My 3 year old son has both immediate and delayed echolalia. Your video is very helpful. I am going to try low pitch high pitch technique with him. He doesn’t say yes or no. So even if I give him a choice juice or water… he repeats after me. He is very smart and has photographic memory. His delayed echolalia is always appropriate with the situation when he is in at that time. I am following the tips from your delayed echolalia video as well.
Just hold up the juice and say yes/no? If multiple choice use images and "pick". Use a handsignal to signal when child should repeat a useful sentence. "May i have a ..... Please"

“Don’t forget that they’re very special. They may be even more intelligent than we are. Love them. It gets better over time.” Words I needed to hear as a single mother of a 4 y/o that very probably is on the spectrum. I love him so so much, I want him to be who he is and no one else, but at times my own nervous system gets overwhelmed by all the echoing and repetitiveness and things can start to feel a bit hopeless. It is hard not to know where things will lead to. But as parents we need to keep on believing in our children, to cheer for when, to love them unconditionally. Thank you for this video.
