I have a VERY clever 4 year old

[Ratfinkstinkypink]

He's miles behind his peers, he has next to no head control, he can't sit without support, he's nowhere near being able to walk. He is preverbal and he is very much in his own world but BUT he is beginning to smile when he means 'Yes please, I'd like to do that" and that is a huge, huge step for him. Huge.

This is so heartwarming to read. What a clever boy, you must be so proud 🥰

That is really huge! Lovely news and I am sure you will continue to be so proud of your wonderful son!

And he’s put a smile on all of our faces too! Well done clever boy!

What a lovely thing to read - and how amazing that big smile must feel to see 🥰

So happy for you. Thank you for sharing!

Aw, wee soul. That's wonderful!

Thank you everyone, I will be sure to tell him lots of people think he's clever too.

❤️❤️❤️

I love this!

I must stop cutting onions…

There are moments in life you'll never forget & this is one of them!!! 🤗😘

That is top notch work! Well done to both of you. :-)

How lovely-that’s the best thing I’ve read on here in ages 🥰

Fantastic. Well done to him 💕 delighted for you too, OP!

I'm so happy for you 🥺

We have a severely autistic son whom we thought would never speak, I damn near shot through the roof when I heard him speak for the first time (years later than all of his peers)

He's still in nappies at 6.5 and may never be fully independent but I'm proud as hell of all his milestones.

So i totally get it.

Bask in that amazing moment and all the warm fuzzies it has given you.

Well done to your clever little guy ♥️

How wonderful! Such a precious moment, when our children realise that communication is possible. You must be so proud (and rightly so)!

Congratulations to you both. You’re doing brilliantly x

Oh OP, yes you do. What a clever boy.

Lovely to read a positive post op 😁😁
