does echolalic speech always indicate a problem?

[thisisyesterday]

cos DS3 uses it a LOT. both in context and at random

this morning for example went a bit like this:

me: say goodbye to daddy
ds3: bye daddy. what a shame daddy having to go to work. lucky mummy you get to play on your computer

his response sounds fab. but is in fact lifted directly from an episode of peppa pig

I notice a lot of similarities between him and DS1 (HFA) and not sure if i ought to be concerned or not. I'm not sure if I am worrying about things unnecessarily jujst because DS1 did/does them, or whether they are genuine indicators of ASD

where abouts are you thisisyesterday? The specialist preschool was private so if your near by i highly recommend it, and you dont need a dx to attend.

south east, near gatwick

Well the school is in Herts, Stevenage if that's close enough. There is also a few more around.

Hi
