He's about the same age as my son, watching this made my eyes leaky 🥹

I love how he's just given his mother this profound, priceless gift and then bounds off joyfully into the next room. Mom's world has just been shaken up in the best way possible, all the feels 🥰

My mom told me I didn’t talk until I was four and then I started talking in complete sentences. Am I autistic? maybe? They didn’t have a diagnosis of asperger’s back in the 80’s. She just assumed it was because I did not want to talk.

My brother was like that, now he's an investment banker, has great friends, life of the party. I remember my parents going to doctors all over the world, one specialist after another worried to death about him, just for him to speak on his own.

interesting! That’s so cool! yeah kids today have way too much pressure put on them to be at a level of “normal.” Sometimes kids go at their own pace and it doesn’t matter what anyone else wants!

My parents said I was like this too. They said they took me to all sorts of specialists and therapists. They finally took me to a Hindu temple… and have talked ever since.

They’ve also said they’ve wanted to take me back there many times to take it back and shut me the hell up sometimes 😂🥺… I miss them.
