[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 148680, member: 3907"] Repetitive speech and echolalia are pretty common in people on the autism spectrum. difficult child and Little easy child have been known to get stuck on a word, phrase or even a random noise for weeks or even months at a time. Recent ones have been: difficult child (Baa-Boh!) Little easy child (Hello Mr. Pop!) With me, it's usually snippets of songs. I have learned over the years to hum them under my breath rather than singing them at full voice, but you can usually hear me muttering to myself and if you listen clearly, you'll hear whatever song is on my mental tape loop. I used to work with a woman who was obsessed with the word "rebar" (as in the metal rods used to reinforce concrete). She would say it over and over and over. Between her rebar and my singing, no one wanted to work near us for a while there. Trinity [/QUOTE]
