WAITED 9 YEARS FOR MY DC TO SAID THEIR FIRST WORD... HE JUST SPOKE!

[BLUESEAPARADISE]

Just that really! 😭😭😭😭😭 I am a completely blubbering mess! 😭😭😭😭

Waited 9 years for my DC to say his first word and he just spoke and said " oh no!" 😭😭😭

AIBU to keep him off of school tomorrow to take him to his favourite restaurant and park to Celebrate?! The places he really likes are normally extremely busy and loud if we try and go at weekends / after school or in the holidays and it doesn't result in an enjoyable experience for him!

I also so incredibly proud and I just want to treat him for talking even though I don't even think he is aware he has said a word! ❤️😭😭😭

This made me cry

So wonderful - congratulations!!! I hope you had a fabulous day out. It is so encouraging to read about your little one - I have been waiting 6 and a half years to hear my son's voice and stories like yours help me to "keep the faith" that his day will come. Huge hugs to you and your son!

Hurrah! I am so pleased for you both! May this be the first of millions of words he will say!

I would be a blubbering mess too! What a fabulous achievement. Do what makes you both happy

What a wonderful bit of good news amongst all the heartache in the world at the moment.

Congratulations to you and your DS! Hope you both have lots of fun tomorrow.

A happy story for your happy occasion:

Child never spoke. 10 years. Then, one day at breakfast, he says 'Pass the butter please.'

??????

'Well, everything was OK up to now.'

WONDERFUL!

So thrilled and happy for you - what a milestone!

This is lovely.

Woohoo, so happy for you OP . My DD said her first word at 4, and I remember the joy well.

That's so lovely. You should spoil him with a day out tomorrow. My dd has SN and is at a special school I'm sure her school would agree to a day off for something as momentous as this.

Oh BLUESEA that's wonderful! I read your OP and cried a bit as well. My DS is 17 and has never spoken (not quiet mind, just no words) and I can only imagine how emotional it must have been to hear him speak. I really really hope it continues, words will open up his world so much!

He's 9 and he's just spoken his first word?! I'm clearly missing something here and can't find another thread from OP to explain a backstory

It's pretty obvious, WhataLoad, and op doesn't need to explain any further.

Oh it's wonderful when they first speak. My son was 4 when he finally spoke and I remember how amazing I felt.
He's 14 now and a real chatterbox. He's come such a long way.

Hope your DS catches on to how much this will help him and he continues to develop that speech.

whataload my DS is autistic and didn't speak until age 4. It can be much later sometimes .

Piss off whataload. What a shitty post.

Do it! Celebrate your boy make him king for the day

Ohhh how wonderful for you!
And what a wonderful supportive reaction from everyone here, it's brought a genuine smile to my face.
Hope you had a fabulous day today!

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🕺🕺go and enjoy yourselves !

Does whataload stand for the bollocks you chat??

How moving and wonderful and amazing. Yes take him out. Some quality time with is just the ticket.

It's pretty obvious, WhataLoad
Not to me it isn't, I don't have kids! I was curious, that's all.

Piss off whataload. What a shitty post
No I won't and no it wasn't. Why was it a shitty post? I have no idea why it's taken 9 years and actually I'm interested.

whataload my DS is autistic and didn't speak until age 4. It can be much later sometimes
Thanks Alfie

Why did wanting to know the story behind OP's DS mean I was talking bollocks Holly? I don't have kids, I have no idea about child development.

Awwwwwww how lovely!

Everybody's responses are wonderful and so many smiley faces,stars,hearts and flowers.
I love this thread.
Well done to your ds.😍❤🎈💬👍👏
