I’m the father of a 6 year old boy diagnosed with autism when he was 4. He’s considered non verbal although he has some stock phrases and sounds he uses daily.

The thing is I’m worried if I’ve made the right decisions and I’m worried about his future.

Will he ever talk more? Will he do well in mainstream school? Will he be OK?

I’d be interested in hearing your experiences especially if you started as non verbal.

Did it get easier for you? When did you start talking more?

    Wow… as someone who is not neurospicy but is interested in those who are, this comment gave me a lot of insight into how your brain ticks. Thank you!
