Hi jojo, it's dianna here. You answered me under "did I make a mistake" and said your sone didn't start talking till he was 4 1/2 to 5 years old. When you say talking do you mean simple single words or do you mean by that age he as doing sentences? I am curious because mine will be 5 next month and he is just doing words and I wonder if he will ever really talk (as in not needing a device) Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Diana

hi diana, i replied to you in another spot, but i shall reply again... he did speak at 4 and a half, but just words... not using them appropriatly, but by the time he was 5 or so, he started to use them to help himself, as in " you want to go to the store" meaning that he wanted to go. now he is almost 8, and he talks like crazy. went from being moderate to severe, and is now mild to moderate, i never thought my son would ever talk, but i never gave up. i pushed him to the limit everyday, and it broke my heart at times, because it is hard.... but it paid off big time,,, hang in there!

Hi there, Olly is nearlly 4 and doesnt say any words at all, he is very noisy and makes lots of sounds. I just keep thinking to myself, lets cope with today, tomrrow has enough worries of its own. If he takes great, he do it when he can and when he's ready, if not we will cross that bridge when it comes.


Hope this helps.

Try not to worry about the future just give them all the love you can.

My Autistic & ADHD son @ 3yrs old learned to talk but could not communicate. He would just answer with grunts and shoulder shrugs meaning "I don't know". In 2004 his 7th grade, I was tired (physically and mentally) of being force to medicate him. I did my research and removed him from the medicine and started him on my own finding of things that we needed to do different in our home. IT WAS THE BEST THING I EVER DID. HE STARTED TALKING AND COMMUNICATING. He is now 16 yrs old and is learning to drive the car. I now leave him in charge of the two younger siblings. He is in band, drama class and interacts with others at school. If you would like to know more of what we did different you can reach me by email [email protected] or 512-365-5717.
