I htnk maybe I do this occassionally. IT is almost like away to learn from your experience you know? Go over what you said, think about it and how could i have said it better. I dont necessarily think it is a bad thing unless you are beating yourself up over what it is you said.
I don't know what they call it. However, that was a habit of mine into adulthood! I often didn't even realize I was doing it (especially out loud) until someone asked me about it. I used to be very embarrassed when it was pointed out to me. By the time I was making a conscious effort to stop the "habit" I realized I was only really doing this after a stressful, or emotionally charged exchange...especially if the exchange was successful. It was almost like my unconscious mind was practicing or dissecting the social encounters that worked well. I've, um, never been really comfortable in social situations.
My ds (7-AS) does this too. I've read alot about echolalia, and was never sure if this little quirk was true echolalia or not. My ds doesn't do it all the time, but I "think" he often does it when he said something that he thought was particularly clever! He'll repeat the line to himself, almost reaffirming.. "wasn't that smart/funny/cool of me to say that!" I know sometimes when you talk to him, he is carefully considering his words in his mind, I can tell by the look on his face.
My son also talks to himself sometimes..kind of like reminding himself what he is doing....like he'll walk around the house saying.. I need to find that bionicle book..stuff like that. Actually, I do that too.
What you describe your mom doing, replaying conversations..I find myself doing that! In my head though.. not out loud.
Back to the original stuff, now that I think about it, this may be a form of nonfunctional delayed echolalia (I got this from the OASIS Guide).. or pallalia. According to the OASIS guide.. pallalia is the noncontextual, inappropriate, or meaningless repetition of a word, syllable or phrase.
Anyway, I do sometimes worry about this (add it to the list). It's kind of cute at 7, but will be just plain weird at 27.
My friends son did this for the longest time. He has some AS symptoms is gifted, ld and ADHD but over all a great kid. She checked with the psychologist that works with all her kids and he called it echolalia. I found that odd because what this boy did didn't sound anything like the echolalia I had heard before. It was more like a vocal tic sometimes(he would just repeat the last word again like an OCD thing) and others it was more like an auditory processing/LD kind of thing like you were talking about.
I heard of someone else once talking about this too.
Mike has more echolalia but it is more stimmy. He can converse normally (well in a Mikey AS kind of way) but he often will repeat lines over and over or use them conversationally especially if he is overstimulated or nervous.
I will be interested in hearing what others have to say about this though.
"I "think" he often does it when he said something that he thought was particularly clever!"
Kyle does that. He repeats what he said or what someone else said or what he's heard on TV that he thinks is funny over and over. Often times he'll look at my face when he's doing it to gage my reaction which I take as a really good thing. The repeating is still anoying sometimes.
I have always done this to myself. I don't often repeat things out loud anymore-- I haven't since probably Jr High when kids made fun of me. but I'm repeating conversations for a long time after I have had them.
I don't know what it's called. I always just figured I over analyzed everything down to the words and how I used them when talking to someone. I also have a difficult time bringing to mind and saying certain words that I want to use so I'm often trying to "find" that word in my mind and use it (when I resay what I've already said) instead of the "explaination" of what I really wanted to say but couldn't bring the word to mind. This some time drives my DH crazy because I'm still thinking about conversations we had some time later.

Yup, Liam can go through periods of doing this.
