Asperger syndrome, sometimes referred to as Asperger's syndrome, is a developmental disorder that affects an individual's ability to communicate and interact socially. It is one of a group of autism spectrum disorders. People with Asperger syndrome tend to have difficulty understanding social cues and body language. They often have difficulty reading facial expressions and interpreting the meaning of what people say and do.
Repetitive Behaviors
People with Aspergers often display behaviors that are repetitive and/or ritualistic in nature. These behaviors can include repeating words or phrases, repeating certain body movements, or engaging in repetitive activities such as rocking or spinning. People with Aspergers may also engage in self-stimulating behaviors such as humming, tapping, or twirling. These behaviors can help to reduce anxiety and provide a sense of comfort and security.
Do People with Asperger Syndrome Repeat What You Say?
Yes, some people with Aspergers may repeat what you say. This is often referred to as echolalia. Echolalia is a common symptom of autism spectrum disorders, and it is characterized by the repetition of words, phrases, or sentences. It is not uncommon for people with Aspergers to echo what they hear without understanding the meaning behind it. For some people, echolalia serves as a comfort mechanism, while for others, it is a form of communication.
