Only thing I've found is that they can be replaced. Luckily I only get a few hours of this at a time.
Well thanks for the earworm, lol. However I think Annie is awesome as is the song.
Anyhow, as others pointed out this doesn't match much with echolalia. Its kinda repeating fixed words or sentences sometimes also not within correct context.
Examples of mine: repeating the wrong name (!) when introducing or ordering something wrong although you have the right thing in your head but it's kinda talking on autopilot.
Simpler examples of children are mostly direct repeating. I thought echolalia applies to autism and not adhs but I've learned it can be with both today.
Anyhow... On replacing looping stuff in my head only being busy with something else works (not adhd though).
That's not what echolalia is. Echolalia is when someone repeats exactly what someone else just said as an unconscious response. It's nothing to do with getting a song stuck in your head (which is a completely normal thing that happens to all people whether neurotypical or not).
