I hope I'm posting in the right place!
I wanted to post about my boy, he's 2 and a half, up until now, he's been functionally non verbal.
He was babbling and saying a few words prior to 12 months, but lost all of his words.
Since his 2 year check he's been on the waiting list for autism assessment.
The only "words" he has are numbers and his ABCs, and a few nursery rhymes, all that come out when he stims.
I've spent so long trying to improve his language, and many nights in tears thinking he will never catch up.
We have a park that can be seen from our living room. He stood infront of the window, and said, park... go!! Go park!
So flipping happy. Still waiting on mum, mummy, mama- whatever he wants to call me, but I'm allowing myself to hope it WILL come.
But Go Park! I'm over the moon.
And he did go. He spent 20 minutes on the swings.
