Autistic non-verbal boy speaks directly to his mother for the first time.

Reminds me of the old joke (note it is always a German child - some thing about a view of German culture I think)

A German couple were worried that their child, Hans, did not speak - he seemed very advanced in every other way, but he just did not speak.

They took him to speech therapy, psychiatrists, child development experts, nothing.

They one day when he was 5, over dinner he suddenly said - "this apple strudel is a little tepid"

His parent's were floored - "Hans you can speak! Why have you never spoken until now?"

Hans replied: "up until now everything had been satisfactory"
