> Yes, in my case it does sound very much like that. I don't get the facial corollary, however I DID used to (and still do at times) have echolalia when I was a teenager , also about the time the "scale illusions" started-which is very suspicious for temporal lobe epilepsy. We may not be talking about exactly the "same" thing, but I believe it is coming from the same part of the brain. Oh another thing I found out from a little researching-people with TLE may sometimes have "echopraxia" which is imitation of another person's behaviour (sometimes unconsciously), I also have done that. It is like instead of repeating the last word of someone's else's sentence, you start talking like them (mannerisms and accents, etc.) or posturing like them-I have done that too....
