Not all of them do. I work with autistic kids, and sometimes we have to modify how we teach echoics (repeating what someone else said) because of it.
We may have a kid that we’re trying to teach to ask for help. So say, for example, we see them unable to open their lunch box. For some kids, we’d go, “Say, ‘help’.” The kid replies, “Help,” and we help them open the box.
But some kids will repeat exactly what we say, which means they end up going, “Say help.” So we have to change the way we make the suggestion. In this case we’d omit the “say” part, and just say “Help.” That way the kid can communication more functionally to get their needs met.

When my youngest was about 3, I told him to behave one day, and he screeched back “I AM being have!”

Do you pronounce behave as “be have”?
Is this a British thing or something?

I think the kid mispronounced “have” to rhyme with “knave,” or “grave,” or “cave,” or “Dave,” or “rave,” or “crave,” or y’know like “behave.”
