Funny echolalia

[Hurr1cane]

My little DS (8) does quite well now using echolalia sentences appropriately. He uses them to express his needs and answer simple questions quite well.

But sometimes they are simply hilarious

Today for example

Me: DS put your plate in the sink

DS: but I'm just a kid!

DP: DS tidy up your toys

DS: but that's impossible!

Anyone else have hilarious examples?

Maybe like

Me: DS we are going to the hospital Today

DS: wait just a minute! What are you trying to pull? (Toy story)

DS picked up on DHs language in the car. Luckily DH is not a big swearer so it was only "bloody hell"

When he was in the mini bus with school they said that when they stopped at traffic lights DS would proclaim "bloody hell" just like DH. We were impressed that it was in context!

Last Christmas we watched a lot of Star Wars and one of his brothers got a talking Darth Vader mask.

We were sitting quietly one evening when he crept up behind me and said "Join with me and together we can rule the galaxy" in a proper sinister Darth Vader voice. I decided not to join the Dark Side with him!

Whenever anyone says anything DS doesn't like, he says "Shut your mouth, smart guy!".

I think it's from Stand By Me, which DH let him watch because it has a train in.

DS (4) saw a Great Dane in the street a while ago. I pointed it out to him and he stared agog for a moment then announced, very loudly, "The dog was not skin and bone, in fact it was wemarkably fat "

For anyone not familiar, this is a direct quote from a story tape he loves about Sophie, the little girl who wanted to be a lady farmer - DS just substituted the original 'cat' for 'dog'

[signandsingcarols]

this has reminded me, ds at school 'it's fucking freezing out' (having no idea what this meant, (and NOT heard from home) bless him he was distraught when he knew it was a 'bad' word, this is from the child who has decided that the word 'pants' is rude and must only be whispered..

[Hurr1cane]

Hahaha another from just now.

DS was putting all the toys he threw outside into his little toy box.

Me: DS put the big toys inside in the big toy box, like big spiderman.....

DS: no don't say that! It's bad language!!

[Hurr1cane]

I once called the kitten (Freya) little fre

DS thought I'd called her fresh so now he calls all the cats fresh...

"Awww little cat you are so very fresh"

This thread has made me laugh so much.

On the train a couple of weeks ago going into the commonwealth games and the train was jam packed. DD and myself were standing right next to the door, everyone was very quiet when the train braked and DD leaned slight into a lady standing next to us and said at the top of her voice...

"Ewwwwww I just touched an old woman"

Everyone kept quiet but DH and I nearly wet ourself with silent laughing. The lady was lovely and we got talking by the end of the journey.

If we ask DD to tidy up, turn the TV off she says "what the heck, how rude are you!"

She loves watching LPS videos on youtube and picks up everything.

" goodness me, I've never seen anything like it" is a favourite at the mo, from Postman Pat.
Also, " hi I'm Barry Scott" from cillit bang advert. If I change the channel after that advert, so he can't rewind it and play it over and over, he shouts " where's Barry Scott gone?"

[Borka]

When ds was tiny, every time we went on the tram he said "liver diver". It took me months to work out that it was really "alert the driver" from the tram announcement.

Now he does a good "Oh, for goodness sake" when asked to do anything he doesn't want to.

[Dreamstosell]

Sitting in church DS noticed another child had a nose bleed and commented "Thats disgusting. Don't try this at home."

[Pagwatch]

Also

Me : what did you do at school today?
Ds2 : cricket
Me: how fab. Did you hit the ball with the bat?
Ds2 : yeah
Me: did you bowl the ball
Ds2,: yeah
Me: did you leap into the air and catch the ball like a leaping thing
Ds2 : yeah
Me : you didn't do any of that did you?
Ds2 : . It was good watching cricket...

[Pagwatch]

Ds2 is brilliant and I have many examples
Today's is

Ds2 : I love you mummy
Me : am I your favourite?
Ds2 : yeah
Dd : Oi!
Me: Pagboy, is DD your favourite ?
Ds2 : yeah
Me: Pagboy, who is your favourite - mummy or DD?
DS2 : errrr......daddy


Haha! Should be in politics really.

[minionmadness]

Fab. Ds has the most wonderful language which often makes me laugh out loud. It's a mixture of his own made up sentences and phrases he's heard. It's no wonder on his school report his CT stated "miniminion has an infectious sense of fun"!

My current favourite is "shut it shrimpy" from the snickers advert, which is said to anyone who says something he doesn't agree with.

[Hurr1cane]

Haha I love all these. Trying to think of more.

"Can I have a drink babe?" Was one of his first it took a while to turn 'babe' into mummy or miss x haha

Bloody DP

Meir It's true! I love that! The Echolalia Never Lies. It should be on T shirts!

[MeirAiaNeoAlibi]

This is the best thread in weeks . DH has now asked why I'm laughing so hard.

For some years (while I failed to grasp that 'normal' in our family means 'as a minimum, lots of ASD traits', I thought dc1 was a prodigy because of his ability to find appropriate quotations for various situations

An under-rated talent, really. Which gives me an opening for one of my favourite MNSN quotes: "The echolalia never lies"

[MrsWinnibago]

Polter lol at that! That's so gorgeous though.

[ouryve]

DS2 picked up on it - a story's much easier to follow if I get everyone's roles right!

[ouryve]

When DS1 was about 3, every single time the washer spun up, he'd say "what's that sound? Here it is...." (Peppa pig and family on their camping trip, hearing an owl!)

DS2's just started to develop echolalia. I've not been able to make out any TV gems yet (his speech is very indistinct) but he recently realised that he could wind DS1 up by standing in front of him and looking at him. DS1 has his standard response "it's rude to stare!" Of course, DS1 picked up on that, last week and mimicked *I'doo de dare!" and has been torturing him with it, ever since.

I wonder if shit stirring opportunities count as motivators for ABA purposes :o

[Hurr1cane]

Oops

That reminds me of another one of DSs. He went to a school with a LOT of swearers but he didn't know what it meant so he'd experiment sometimes.

Anyway once I was changing his nappy in the morning and DP was lay in bed waking up slowly and DS was making happy gargling noises when all of a sudden he said, really happily...

"Get the fuck off me"

Poor DP was almost crying trying to Silent laugh and I had to keep a straight face while telling DS that was a naughty word. If he'd have heard a laugh he'd have carried on saying it forever.

Luckily he's never said it again

[itiswhatitiswhatitis]

Ds's Teacher: we need to wash our hands after we use the toilet.

Ds: What you talkin bout. Are you crazy?
