My sibling did this. Nothing, nothing, nothing, and suddenly everything.

Same with my daughter! She’s been non-verbal autistic her whole life and I heard all the stories of some kids not talking till 4 and always had hope…I had resigned myself to my mute little princess and all of a sudden at 6+ she started verbalizing. Badly at first and now it’s been a couple of months and the kid doesn’t shut up and walks around the house singing jingle bells and snowflake songs ALL DAY. She’s absolutely making up for lost time and I couldn’t be prouder 🥰🙏

Awww thank you so much! That really means a lot! I love her with everything I have and have given her everything I can. All she ever hears is that she is a beautiful smart princess and will thrive in her own way with us behind her ❤️❤️❤️ Scary to not know if she’ll ever be independent and have her own life but as long as I’m alive I’ll be here to protect her and encourage her and take care of her and help her be happy ❤️🙏 thank you for the kind words, it’s nice to hear in the midst of the journey ❤️💪

My little brother too, he was actually running before we ever saw him walk. He refused to do anything, my parents took him to doctors thinking he was developmentally behind, and then one day instead of crawling he’s running down the hallway like it’s nothing
