Echolilia: A Father's Photographic Conversation with His Autistic Son

Closed System
"The doors will be closing. Please stand clear of the doors."
"The doors will be closing. Please stand clear of the doors."]

Repeated obsessively whenever we encounter a moving door. At the library, on a bus, at the supermarket. It comes from deep within and interrupts common conversation. It's stated as an impulse, not as a collection of thoughts expressed, repeated in exact tone and rhythm without meaning. This is echolilia.
