My son just called me mummy

[Merryoldgoat]

He’s 5. He’s non verbal with Autism and has not shown any real inclination to talk.

This last 2/3 weeks he’s started ‘demanding’ food which is brilliant, but tiday he saw me and shouted ‘mummy!’.

I can’t believe it. I could cry ❤️

💕 amazing!

That's lovely 🥰

Oh my... this post is gorgeous ❤️❤️

@Merryoldgoat amazing! I’m so bloody happy for you and she’d a little tear (sad I know from reading one post on an internet forum)

That is an amazing step for DS 😍👏

I'm delighted for you! Such a lovely post.

Lovely 😊 what a moment you will never forget!

What a lovely thing to hear

That is wonderful ❤️❤️

Well done, OP’s clever boy! Sending hugs x

He’s so precious.

He has lots of echolalia and repeats sone songs and books but now he will say what song he wants me to put on when I point to the TV.

I often wake up now to shouts of ‘NANA’ or ‘DRINK’ or ‘CHOCOLATE BISCUIT’ which is such a bit step. He added in ‘CRISPS’ this week and just earlier today ‘I want drink’ once rather than just ‘DRINK’.

He also is learning animals.

I love him so so much. He charms everyone as he looks so angelic but hearing his voice more is just unbelievably special.
