Echolalia

Mia was also diagnosed with Echolalia, which a lot of kids with autism have.  Mia can repeat the words she hears, but doesn't necessarily know the meaning of what she is repeating.

Echolalia is the automatic repetition of vocalizations made by another person. It is closely related to echopraxia, the automatic repetition of movements made by another person.
