In Reply to: At what age do autistic kids start to verbalize/talk posted by AL on April 13, 2000 at 07:51:14:

: 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?

You simply have to have your son checked out for Allergies, Intolerances also Candida Albicans
Take it from there, therapy is always helpful
Best wishes,
