Echolalia and Asperger's

Post Reply New Topic

Is immediate and delayed echolalia seen in Asperger's? I often have this, and had this since a young age. My diagnosis is autism by the way, but I'm wondering as to whether I could qualify as having Asperger's.

Yes, echolalia is common with Asperger's. I'm not sure what you mean by qualify as having Asperger's. They're not really distinctly different things. Even under the old DSMIV system there weren't a lot of differences between the diagnosis criteria, mostly just what age you first spoke at.
