We have two autistic kids. There’s a time when you don’t know if they will ever speak. And a lot never do.

Ours did and now they won’t shut up. But we are grateful.

Same as my brother. He did not speak for a long time as a toddler and now he does not shut up😂

But I love it - he is now getting to a stage of being articulate and emotionally intelligent - very great at being in touch with what he is feeling which makes things easier in terms of taking care of him.
