    Is copying accents a form of echolalia?

    Interesting. So it could in fact be two different factors. I know I tend to do it more so than others so maybe it's a bit of both? I do often warn people with a distinctive accent beforehand.

    Hello everyone! I am new here. I go by Bubbles since it's my nickname. I am almost 21 years young. And I am awaiting an ASD diagnosis. This week I finally got the news that I am allowed to be tested. A few months back I had asked for an ASD assesment. My therapist told me she doesn't...
