Purpose The purpose of this report was to describe the nature of word-final repetition (WFR) in an adult with normal intelligence and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Method A 25-year-old man completed speaking tasks that differed in linguistic complexity to examine the nature of his WFRs and the effect a stimulant medication had on his frequency of WFR. Results WFR occurred as a single iteration on sentences containing 2 or more clauses and occurred most often during monologue speaking tasks, on the final complete syllable of multisyllabic words, on content words, and on words in the utterance-final position. A minimal increase in WFR occurred when the participant completed a speaking task with a stimulant medication than the same speaking task without a stimulant medication. Conclusion Findings are similar to previous cases of WFR among school-age children, which have reported the majority of WFRs during propositional speaking tasks and a limited awareness of WFR. Linguistic, motor, coexisting conditions, and genetic explanations of WFR are considered relative to this case. Intervention of WFR should consider the individual needs of the client and the client's awareness of WFR.
