Pablo - Llama Has Echolalia

Like Llama, some autistic children are non-verbal, and they might communicate using methods such as gestures, looking, reaching or echolalia (repeating other people's words).

You might want to explain to your child that just because someone isn’t speaking the way they do, it doesn’t mean they don’t understand what’s going on. Encourage your child to watch for ways the person is using to communicate.
