    By Anne Russell Bramlett, MS, CCC/SLPMany of our children on the autism spectrum use echolalia, which is the repetition of another’s speech that occurs either immediately, or even later, after the original production. According to Barry Prizant (1987) echolalia is characteristic of least 85% of children with autism who acquire speech. In the past, it was sometimes suggested that this verbal behavior should be extinguished since it appeared non-meaningful.
