I have a three year old nonverbal autistic son. He grunts, shrieks, cries and hums. He has even echoed and said "cow" for a very short period - but he has lost that. I have heard that if kids are going to talk, they will start by five. I want to know other parents experience. Has speech therapy really made a difference in a kid aged three?
