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!

That's brilliant news. My little boy is 3 and has various autistic traits by no diagnosis as yet. Every word is such a step in the right direction xx

Such lovely news x ❤️

Amazing news! My son was 5 when he starts talking after only ever saying "Oh dear" when he was 18 months old. It is truly amazing when it happens. I cried when he first said mum.

He's 16 now, and though he still has speech difficulties he doesn't shut up, just like my other kids!

Wooooo, woooooo, woooooooo!!!!!!!

So happy to hear such wonderful news!

OP if you have Netflix please watch the film Life Animated it was about exactly this scenario and is just the most moving film

Oh congratulations!!!!

All the woo and hoo and and for you and him (well not the wine obviously!). You must be so excited.

Oh wow! I was umming and ahhhing thinking I really should go to bed and not have a peek at Mumsnet!

I’m so glad I didn’t listen to myself because your post has cheered me up! Great news OP
