To be over the moon that my 7 year old said 'mummy'

DS7 is (generally) non verbal, ASD and severe learning difficulties. We get very very limited and occasional words. He has said daddy quite a few times and his brother's name.

Today while I was getting him out of the car he said 'mummy quick'! First time he has ever said it!!!!!!
