Examples of palilalia and perserveration?

Post Reply New Topic

I noticed I keep making verbal mistakes whenever I'm writing and I'm trying to correctly classify them. I'm having a hard time because examples of schizophrenic speech and autistic speech don't seem to be easily findable, so I was wondering if anyone had any examples?

One recent sentence of mine that contained this "repetition" was:

"Essentially, it seemed to seemed to be mostly a mixture of genes with a little luck tossed in as the goddess of fate decided."

Also, in the same piece of writing, I had a word that was accidentally reinserted into a later part of the sentence (I bolded it):

"I eventually reasoned that, well, they reasoned could solidify from petrifaction and then break apart and "fall off", so to say."

"That's a good question." - several times during my assessment (ADOS)

I'm prone to palilalia very much. As a kid, I regularly repeated what I said one more time in whispers. It had been objected many times. I still have that feature, sometimes I have to suppress it consciously when I see coming.

Thinking about the way I talk to myself, I'll repeat statements or phrases over and over. For quite some time afterwards.
And I'm always carefully re reading and correcting those kinds of things in what I write.
It's like my brain has a long lasting echo.
I wonder if songs getting stuck in the head are related to this neurologically. My brain is like fly paper for music. Any song I hear is stuck until I get another one in to replace it.
