I do both of those things! Repeating words because they're not quite right, or because they're so right I want to keep saying them. Sometimes it's frustrating to get stuck on a thought like that, but usually it's kind of fun.

I do the typing thing too sometimes! I also type phrases (like passwords or usernames) into the air sometimes when my hands are idle. I don't know what counts specifically "as echolalia" or "not as echolalia" but it feels similar to the repeating words thing to me so it definitely could be.
