[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 346033, member: 1991"] Oh, yes! The recitation of long strings of syllables, which showed a prodigious memory. A little tape recorder... But in our case, it was also what he read that he memorised, plus his constant reading of every letter, every number and playing every musical note. The other interesting thing about the strings of syllables he could remember - they would be repeated often at random. Or he would hear a similar phrase (such as the beginning of a song he knew) and he would be off and reciting. It's classic echolalia, and very typical of early autism. We also thought difficult child 3 was gifted and a candidate for acceleration into school, until we realised his language wasn't developing on cue. Marg [/QUOTE]
