My daughter was nonverbal until she was 4. She would occasionally make sounds similar to words. One day I was home from work on lunch break, I worked 5 minutes away and would come home for lunch to save money.
I was leaving to head back to work, kissed my wife and then my daughter who was sitting in a high chair also having lunch. I told her "bye, I love you!".
She replied with a crystal clear perfect "I love you" back.
The reaction from my wife and I was similar to this mom. Hearing her speak at all, let alone telling me she loves me, is one of my strongest memories now. I remember it often and this video brought back all the emotions.
My twin sister and I have a sister who is 17 months older, and she would continuously regress into baby babble with us and it always seems like we understood each other and would get up at the same time to go to another room.
There’s definitely evidence to conclude that baby babble is a rudimentary language between babies and children still young enough to understand
When I was really young my grandmother used to chat with me but in baby talk and everyone else was impressed because she always knew what I said and how to make me happy!
I sadly have forgotten ever meeting her but I still think about that!
I swear when my granny was dying (she died of dementia when I was 4, I did not speak til almost that age) she told me that she was dying and that it was okay and to not worry, that she will be at peace. I wonder if we were speaking telepathically and my adult brain just can't comprehend how it's possible. I 100% believe you.
After the Telepathy Tapes, there is a series of shorter things called... Talk Tracks I think which are basically interviews, and the one that came out like yesterday I think, episode 5, has an example of a woman who was dying of terminal cancer, and when she would be sleeping she'd dream she was in her childhood house as a child, and the child would interact with the people in that house. Anyway, you can listen yourself if it catches your fancy, but there's a fair bit of discussion about people with dementia and the like being able to interact with others.
