[QUOTE="SRL, post: 92152, member: 701"] Most parents when at the stage you are at will see things in a symptom list that fit and others that don't while still other traits that seem to fit partially. That's normal. No one of our kids is alike, and no two kids with Autism or any other disorder is exactly alike. That's why it's so important to do your homework and seek out professionals in the area(s) of concern. I believe that Midwestmom's son has a diagnosis of Autism whereas my son came closer to Asperger's in his younger years and I would only hear very limited repetive, echoing speech. He answered my questions to the best of his ability (he had problems with W-H questions) and not with echoes. I would sometimes hear him use phrases from tv during play "According to my research... (from Magic School Bus) but those were usually pretty appropriate for the play situation. Never any whole movie scripting. There are two kinds of echolalia: one is immediate, such as Midwestmom described with answering questions with tv or book scripts which have been memorized. Delayed echolalia is what you are seeing with your son reciting Cars. Echolalia will often increase in children who have developed speech if the child is under stress. [/QUOTE]
