Palilalia is the repetition or echoing of one's own spoken words,[1] and may sound like stuttering. It is a complex tic, like echolalia and coprolalia.[1] All can be symptoms of Tourette syndrome,[1] Asperger syndrome,[1] or autism.[1]
Palilalia comes from the Greek πάλιν (pálin) meaning "again"[1] and λαλιά (laliá) meaning "babbling, meaningless talk"[1] (from the verb λαλείν (laleín) meaning "to talk").
