Tourettes Symptoms in Children: """ Some children with Tourette syndrome may repeat words. If the child repeats somebody else’s words, it is called echolalia, but if she repeats her own words, it is considered palilalia. Children who have echolalia can have immediate echolalia or delayed echolalia. With immediate echolalia, the child immediately repeats what the other person was saying. Children with Tourette syndrome who have delayed echolalia as a vocal tic repeat what another person has said, but there is a delay before the repetition. In cases of palilalia, the repetition may be a word or phrase and the child may whisper the repetition. When speaking, a student with Tourette syndrome may use different voice intonations. Burd, Christensen and Kerbeshian note that whether a student has simple or complex vocal tics, they break semantic rules, “because of their insertion into larger units of conversation where they have no apparent contextual meaning."
