Finds that repeating phrases you’ve heard before helps you express yourself, regulate emotions, or connect with others? Has been described as using “echolalia,” “scripting,” or “repetitive speech”?

I recognise that face , that expression in my phd #AutisticAcademics friends 💜. That’s what made me giggle cause it’s true

Which is pure BS

We #Autistic people have been around as long as humans walked the earth - so how could that even be possible ?
