As a parent of a nonverbal child, this absolutely blows my mind. And gives me hope. I’d be getting a new tattoo that says good morning

The kid in the video is pretty big! I guess mom and everyone must have been continuing to just speak to him for years and years before this happened. These things always vary wildly from person to person, but don't lose heart! <3

My son is 13 and semi verbal. Everyday I come home from work I get a "hi daddy" I ask him how school was and he just bounces off like this lil guy. What I would give just to have a 1 word answer from him, some day I'll get "good" and Mark my words I'll be a blubbering mess.
