To want to shout it from the rooftops - my autistic DS has started to talk!

[Bobbybobbins]

My autistic DS is 4 and about to start school. He spoke until 2 then had a massive regression and stopped talking completely.

Just this past two weeks he has started saying single words again.

I don't want to go on about it to everyone I meet, even though I feel like I could.

He might say 'I love you' soon!

Thanks everyone

Oh how lovely :)

Oops posted to soon.

Favourite words so far are mainly from songs, which was one of the last parts of his speech to go. He said 'why' today though

He had a settling in morning at school. Trying to get him to say 'bye' to the TA who will be working with him - no chance. Go to the supermarket later, shouting 'bye' at the checkout lady 😂

Marvellous news!

Lovely post! I hope he never shuts up

Me too! His words are like drops of water on dry earth to us!!!
