My views on things often differ from those in my social circle. I am often bombarded with article links and videos from people with no words of their own attached. It is very easy to send a link. It takes a bit of effort to form a coherent paragraph expressing a single thought.

I would describe this kind of communication as lazy and not very good. I am sure others experience this often as well. I am wondering if there is a proper term for it, or if it is worth trying to coin a term for it.

    Sounds similar to echolalia, which I believe is a common autism symptom. A person with echolalia may have difficulty forming complete sentences, and will prefer “recycling” sentences they have heard before.

    I wouldn’t call it “lazy” if its legitimately a mental disorder. Laziness implies a lot more agency and choice.

    That being said, I’ve found many autistic people are open to communication lessons if offered with kindness. Its just that teaching takes time.
