For my son to say "Hi Daddy"
Is he non-verbal or just very young?
Non-verbal. 28 months old and not a single word yet
Sad, but hopeful. There used to be an old joke in my family that my grandmother didn't speak until she was 3 and then she never shut up!
It's the side the autism comes from.
I clearly remember being 3 too. The world was so overwhelming...I just wanted to concentrate on my own little things and I didn't know why anyone would want me to particpate in their things when I had my own things to focus on. That's how simplistic I remember it...and that time. I just wanted experiences. I did not want to interact.
