A story about autism spectrum disorder, alternative communication, and brotherly love. Echolalia, repeated words, or phrases, is a form of verbal imitation and one of the most common characteristics of communication in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). When an autistic individual repeats language, it is functional and meaningful. In the story, Elliott joins his brother on several imaginative adventures and uses immediate and delayed echolalia to communicate how he feels. As the story unfolds, children will learn about autism spectrum disorder and its related traits to cultivate awareness, understanding and acceptance of neurodiversity.
