More details about milestones are needed and check up also. Looks like some delay in speech due to mobile use. It can be treated.  Please visit a pediatrician or child psychologist

Speech delay in boys can be present upto 3 years. If he understands what is told and is able to do simple tasks like bringing the toy or cup he will develop his verbal speech in course of time. Autism is like the child lives in his own world and does repetitive actions. He does make an eye to eye contact on calling or speaking to him. Repeatedly telling or speaking called echolalia is a sign. Preterm babies or sickness in neonatal period can be a cause.
Next Steps
This child requires detailed assessment for development.
Health Tips
He requires evaluation for early intervention.

Greetings de All Products Visual matches 11 sites The image shows a message from a mother describing her nearly 3-year-old child who communicates his basic needs but frequently exhibits delayed echolalia, or "scripting," by repeating cartoon episodes aloud during play and before sleep, occasionally failing to respond to his name when focused. YouTube ·Occupational Therapist Prabhjot +2 The behavior your child is showing resembles delayed echolalia, which is a common communication style where children repeat stored chunks of language like cartoon dialogues. While echoing can be a normal step in early speech acquisition, a persistent pattern of scripting past age three alongside gaps in direct back-and-forth conversation can sometimes indicate an underlying speech processing delay or a neurodevelopmental difference, such as autism spectrum disorder. To help narrow down what might be happening, medical professionals look at three key possibilities: an expected developmental variation in language learning styles, an isolated expressive or receptive language delay, or autism spectrum disorder. YouTube ·Occupational Therapist Prabhjot +4 For support and treatment, you have at least three effective avenues to explore: seeking a comprehensive pediatric speech-language evaluation to understand his communication style, beginning targeted speech therapy to bridge the gap between scripted lines and original speech, and using everyday home-based language modeling, such as acknowledging his repeated phrases while demonstrating short, interactive responses he can use instead. Please check his primary pediatric growth chart and record a few brief video clips of his scripting and play behaviors to share with a clinical specialist for an accurate review.

If you would like to explore this further, tell me: Does he use any original 3-word sentences that he creates himself to ask questions or share thoughts? Does he make steady eye contact and use gestures like pointing to show you things he likes? How does he interact or play with other children or family members?

From what you described, this does not necessarily mean your child is “mad” or mentally ill. Many children around this age repeat cartoon dialogues, talk during play, and get deeply involved in their own activities. Good signs are: - He understands instructions - He can express needs - He interacts with family But screen time should be reduced as much as possible because excessive mobile/cartoon exposure can affect speech, attention and social interaction. Spend more time in: - Talking face to face - Storytelling - Outdoor play - Singing/rhymes - Interactive games If speech is not improving, poor eye contact is present, or he does not respond to name consistently, then developmental assessment by a pediatrician/developmental specialist is advisable.
