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 here. Didn't really talk before 3. Still didn't really pull the cork out of the bottle till 4. (still early compared to many, I know).

Now the floodgates are open and there is no silence haha.
