Used to alot more when I was a kid, although I do still catch myself doing it occasionally, especially when I'm tired.

I am pretty sure I do.

Yes

I pick up the accent of the person I am speaking to, especially if it is one of those strong accents you get, I mean the deep broad types.

I also can pick up accents from telly and repeat it, my brother always gets annoyed with that

But it isn't anything serious at all, it can be amusing.

Not really.

The only form it takes is sometimes repeating a phrase I like out loud [for no communicative reason], sometimes repeating what someone has said to me under my breath to understand it better, and oftentimes repeating myself and the points I've already made.

I suppose I do, but I don't see it as anything special as it's not notable, nor does it affect me negatively.

Strangely enough, I didn't have it when I was a child; I suppose I didn't talk enough for it to be there.

Yes.

I'm not sure if I do or not. Not out loud, anyways... though -in my head-.... that's for sure. My head repeats so many things, often on loop. Drives me nuts when I notice it.

Out loud, though... I'm honestly not sure.
I do often copy commercials when they are on/playing... does that count?
"The best doggone place to buy a car!... WOOF!" (lol.)

And maybe some delayed echolalia. I have this habbit of going around saying (sometimes screaming):
"Nothingness is eternal!"
Among other things. (The internet made me go all fail: "Lol!" "OMGWTFBBQ!! !" "Pwned!" .... "Fail!" ... yeah. all said out loud... a lot. )

No, I've never used that.

Not out loud anymore. As a kid, or even now sometimes when playing video games or watching movies I'll repeat a phrase that was said. But now mostly it just repeats in my head and I try not to say it outloud.

Sometimes, when I can recognize some rithm in a phrase.

Though I am still unsure upon it's exact meaning - mainly because it isn't supposed to appear in AS - I very much identify with the many reports that I heard from a professional about autistic children that have echolalia. So apparently, yes. I also learnt English liked that - no idea about German.

the small amount of speech am do have is both echolalic and palilalic.

I used to sometimes unintentionally whisper things I said again after I said them. My sister was very annoyed by it, and I managed to get myself to stop. However I don't think I ever did this for other people. I also sometimes accidentally pick up accents.
