Echolalia.

I just heard someone say that echolalia isn't just repeating things out loud, but also repeating things in your head... is that true? 'Cause I constantly have certain phrases running on repeat in my mind...
 
I too wonder if this qualifies or is different, I do it very often. Right now the phrase stuck in my head on repeat is “body melt”:D (the name of a particularly bad movie that I will probably never actually recommend even to people who usually like movies, I just watch it because I’m a sucker for body horror, which it has in abundance) “Melt” is a word that will often stick in my head, I think I like the feel of thinking/mouthing it. “Murmur” is another one that’s good for me, I can’t just say it once and be done with it:oops:

Hi, I’m neurodivergent self-diagnosed but have never been to a therapist for a firm diagnosis of any type besides confirmed OCD. I suspect possible Asperger’s also, but like mentioned, have not been diagnosed. When I was 12 years old, my mom moved away and I had to go to live with my dad. It was traumatic. I started repeating the word “cheese” to everyone when they would try to talk to me and have normal conversation. The only reply I would ever give was “cheese” for at least a year and a half following the event. Is this a type of echolalia? I’ve always been curious.

I don't know whether it's echolalia (maybe it is? Word repetition and all). Is there a reason you went with the word "cheese"? Personally, a lot of my meows are just a way of getting out of saying real words, either because I'm uncomfortable, or because I really don't know how to respond. I only do it with friends and family though.
