Is it echololia or scripting when I say "you know?" After every sentance? I feel like I cant *not* say it after finishing a thought and it tends to irritate other people (I used to repeat other phrases and whole sentances but I seem to have repressed most of them but for the life of me the "you know" just refuses to leave)
iām not really sure, that depends how it feels to you.
scripting is when you plan what youāre going to say in advance, and in my experience can become almost like automatic responses (āhave funā being a response i give to someone announcing their plans).
echolalia is repeating words/phrases thatĀ āget stuck in your headā, and can be used as a way of communication (using song lyrics or quotes from things to talk, for example).
and related to those (kinda) is verbal stimming, which is saying things because is sounds/feels right (repeating a word or sound for the sound it makes or the feeling in your mouth/throat).
whatever it may be, i donāt think you should worry about it too much. thereās no harm in adding a small phrase to the end of statements, and as long as youāre understandable thereās no reason to make a fuss about it.
