We arrived early at nursery this morning, we waited in the corridor (for nursery to open) along with another mum and her little boy who is similar to dd2 (asd), the little boy is younger than dd2 (maybe 3 years old) and is non verbal (only makes sounds/grunts), anyway the electric went off and we were plunged into darkness, i was worried dd2 would get upset so i started talking to her, Dd2 said 'oh dear' then there was silence (still pitch black) and the little boy said 'oh dear' , his mum said 'was that your dd2 or my ds', i said 'your ds' and she was so excited as he had never spoken before. So the little boy spoke for the first time .
I was so happy for them both as it wasn't long ago dd2 said her first words.
I hope this is the start of something great (more language) for the little boy.
Felt so proud for the mum.
