Scripting is a common form of echolalia that is used by autistic people. (If you're not sure what echolalia is, you may want to check out this video first: youtube.com/watch?v=HTBAkxcVdZ8) Additionally, there is a social scripting that we'll also briefly cover.
In this video, I explore research and information regarding what autistic scripting is and clear up misinformation regarding its usefulness. I share some of my own personal examples and experiences as well as help to interpret more confusing academic language into understandable, yet still accurate and detailed, language for the average person looking to understand more.
