Lenguaje funcional sirve a un propósito y ese propósito es la comunicación. La base de la comunicación es hacer que los pensamientos en la mente del oyente coinciden con los pensamientos en la mente del hablante. Ecolalia sirve a un propósito también. Sin embargo, ello no siempre es comunicarse con otra persona. Muchas personas que sufren autismo, suelen repetir las frases y partes de los guiones de las películas que han visto. La repetición es excesiva y que a menudo se utiliza para la estimulación de uno mismo. Otras veces ecolalia se utiliza para ayudar a aliviar el estrés y realizar tareas. Ecolalia puede ser usado para ayudar al individuo a organizar sus pensamientos al entrar en una situación que puede ser confuso para él. Por ejemplo, una persona autista puede decir: "Todo el mundo ponerse en línea", mientras se acercaba un cheque mostrador de una tienda. La declaración se usa para ayudarle a navegar a través de la situación, no para comunicar algo a otro individuo.
