@whileyouwonder: As requested on my 5 Clues You Could Be Autistic vid ✨ P.S. just remember, one autistic quality doesn’t make you autistic - it’s a pattern across a set of criteria. But if you’re finding a lot of elements relate - it may be worth looking into! For my deep divers👇 Xie, B., Shi, Z., & colleagues. (2023). Echolalia in autism spectrum disorder, a scoping review. Frontiers in Psychology, 14, 1010615. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1010615 • Sterponi, L., & Shankey, J. (2014). Rethinking echolalia, repetition as interactional resource in autism. Journal of Child Language, 41(2), 275–304. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0305000912000682 🧠 As always, what I share is based on my experience as an autistic speech pathologist working in autism assessment, the lived experiences of the autistic community, and what I’ve seen across 8 years of assessment work. These insights reflect common themes I’ve observed in clinical settings, assessment conversations, and client storytelling. It may not apply to everyone, and research is still catching up on a lot of this. This content is for general education and shared understanding, it is not clinical advice or a diagnostic service. I’d love to see more research in this space, and I’m always open to chatting with or supporting researchers, especially autistic researchers, who feel called to explore and build on these insights. There’s so much more to explore together.
