Yippee, actual, honest to good ness, speech!!!!!

[signandsmile]

ds (who up to now is pretty much all sign). Today said 'U Wau Gou' (I want to go!!!!!)

It was in amongst all the usual babble, but i said 'You wanted to go?' and he said yeah yeeah! (one of few words he has.)

A real honest to goodness sentence of SPEECH!!!

(I am now feeling silly, for making a fuss because we were probably the only ones to understand it, and it was only 3 syllabuls, but dammit little sign spoke!

Fantastic!!!!!
I can't wait for that day,littllest chicken's makaton is coming on a treat though,so I am too

That's fabulous! Well done to signandsmile junior!

signandsmile, I haven't been following your threads as I come on this site intermittently but I feel so proud for you! I have a child with ASD who struggles with communication and I understand how rewarding progress can be. Your little one has said a sentence, you havce every right to feel so proud, well donex

wahay! great news, i'm so pleased.

Hi I don't know you and haven't been on mums.net much but I share your well deserved pride! I have a DS with ASD and speech and communication is a big problem for him. Its progress like this that can make it all worthwhile, a definate sentence!! You are4 obviously doing a fab job...well donex

sorry I was so excited I posted two of the same messages...oops!

sareyggs, that made me laugh! thank you everyone for your congrats. have been telling little sign how mummy's friends have been saying good boy, and well done because he did lots of talking with his mouth...

(this is making me smile lots as I sometimes feel the professionals involved are talking out of an entirely different orifice..) lol

That's great! Well done little sign!!!! :)

Such a good feeling!

The other day DD said 'Mummy' instead of just 'mumumumumum' babble. I think it was an accident as she's not said it again, but I was still over the moon!

Oh and SAS... professionals talking out of their arses bottoms?! Never!

wonderful, id be making a huge fuss too. reading this gives me hope, never say never. my ds is 10 and to date has not said one word. and unpa1 even if its a swear word my ds comes out with i'll celebrate that too. well done to both ds.

Well done and so happy for your little one.
