: About Me

Hey, I'm Ying! (^-^)

Not much to say about me really; I live in NZ and I'm just a (normal?) teenager.

I enjoy writing for fun, expressing my opinions and just rambling on because I feel like it. More recently, I've also started trying my hand at poetry but it can be so infuriating trying to convey a meaningful message, and make it rhyme.. (Yes, I know poetry doesn't always have to rhyme, but it just seems more fun when it does!)

My other interests include painting (anything is beautiful when it's abstract!) watching Asian dramas, eating, sleeping and shopping. I also love to travel, learn new things, reading, and have all sorts of fun, crazy, adventures.

I am currently studying for a degree in Civil Engineering at Auckland University. Still not sure why I decided to do engineering actually; most of the stuff I have to learn is either really hard or not remotely interesting ><". Plus, there's the dire prospect of me having to work on construction sites wearing a hard hat and gumboots (I'm strictly a high heels and hand bag kinda girl).. 

Well, turns out I can actually ramble on about myself for a few decent sized paragraphs lol. Anyways, hope you enjoy my articles and happy writing! :)

My best moment ...

My inspiration ...

Anything and everything.

Health & Fitness > Autism Echolalia: The repeating of words, phrases and sounds

1 of 1

Echolalia is a speech disorder in which a person repeats words, phrases and sounds spoken by another person.

There are two forms of echolalia: immediate and delayed.
