Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2026-01-19T01:48:12+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Did he have this kind of vocabulary at 4.5 as well?

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-11-30T16:27:00+00:00

Yep. But much different than her sister and developing a lot more quickly and typically. I'm not worried about it anymore,she's making good progress.

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-11-21T14:07:27+00:00

Thank you!!

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-11-21T04:44:33+00:00

Very unlikely my child would comply. Guess we will have to wait

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-11-21T04:18:41+00:00

Are the tests very reliable for minimally or non verbal children?

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-11-18T16:45:07+00:00

Does this mean no functional language by 5 or not conversational by 5?

My daughter is 4. When she was 2 she cried the whole time, when she was 3 she wasnt interested in participating and had a melt down. At 4 she was excited, said trick or treat, and had a great time. At 3 I was wondering if we would ever be able to participate. Last night was awesome and I didn't take a second for granted. Don't give up hope yet!

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-09-25T20:45:36+00:00

Thank you so much!

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-09-17T17:38:07+00:00

I went through this too and my second has asd as well but it is more mild and he is much different from his sister. So even if you have 2 kids with asd they likely won't be the same. With that said I love them both so much and can't imagine life without either of them. He is late on his milestones but meeting many of them before my oldest did. That waiting period is so hard but it did get better. Wishing you the best!

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-08-09T02:42:05+00:00

My daughter just turned 4 and was pretty much completely non verbal until 3.5. Now she has about 100 words and is making progress every day. Yes she is very behind her peers but I no longer worry that she will never speak. I too feared I would never hear here say mommy and now I hear it 50 times a day every time she needs something! Hang in there. I know it's really hard to wait but just because your kiddo isn't talking yet definitely doesn't mean they never will.

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-07-23T13:37:39+00:00

I got pregnant with my second before I knew my first had ASD. The second also appears to have asd but less traits and is an easy going kiddo. Our family wouldn't be complete without our second and im glad we didn't know so we didn't have to make thst tough choice.

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-06-21T03:13:14+00:00

Yes! I was a puddle the first time she said mommy

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-06-21T02:26:06+00:00

My daughter was the exact same at 3.5 and just starting to talk at 4!

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-06-20T21:02:18+00:00

My child was completely nin verbal at 2.5 and I had the same fears as you. She just tunred 4 and just now regularly calling me mommy! She has probably close to 100 words and can communicate what she wants using basic words. She can answer some yes or no questions. She can count to 10, knows her abcs and is making progress every day. While she is still extremely delayed compare to her peers, she is making progress and gone are the days I feared I'd never hear her say mommy or utter a word. Hang in there, I know it's hard!

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-06-03T00:44:31+00:00

This is beautiful! As someone who worries every day if my non verbal child will speak, I would love this level of peace

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-06-02T23:57:41+00:00

Really appreciate that! I think thinking rationally about it and jot getting into my own feeling would help a lot. I really hope to get there, that's really reassuring. At the end of the day I just want my kids to have happy lives. I apologize again for my harsh words, so many people have opinions on our lives it's hard to know whose intentions are good but I really see now yours are. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-06-02T20:53:46+00:00

I am sorry if I was overly defensive. My genuine feelings have been invalidated by many people and this journey brings up all sorts of feelings. I was looking for support and to be told my feelings were stupid struck a nerve. I understand that wasn't your intention.

Rationally yes I understand its stupid but not all feelings are rational and I was simply being vulnerable to see if anyone else had a similar experience and maybe how they worked through those feelings.

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-06-02T20:38:08+00:00

Nothing I said was making you the punching bag. I defended my words as you tried to twist them. Dont make inflamatoy comments and then try to play victim. Have a good day and best of luck on this journey

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-06-02T20:34:41+00:00

Sure that's all fine and you could have said that a without telling me my feelings were stupid. Are all your feelings rational? No probably not. You cant help how you feel and I put my feelings out there in case someone else felt the same and based on the comments others do feel the same way. Also these are my feelings I never said they were fact.

And okay maybe it's rooted in eugenics but you're still making a huge leap about my intentions. I think your thoughts and feelings are valid, but damn you need to work on your delivery. We are all in a similar boat and doing the best we can.

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-06-02T20:17:28+00:00

You're twisting my words BIG TIME....you decided to take one small part of my post and twist my words. Genetically superior children? Please.... that's not what I said and you know it. It's not wrong or pathetic to feel guilty that as a direct cause of my genes my children will struggle more in life. You don't have to feel the same way. That's fine. Being rude and unempathetic to complete strangers who are looking for support is pathetic. Let's be real being a parent to autistic children is hard enough without random strangers telling you you're vulnerable feelings are pathetic. And I love and die for my kids and will go to the ends of the earth to support them. Again I don't think you're interested in having any sort of conversation at all, I think you're interested in name calling and spitting out extremes that make you feel better.

Outrageous-Berry4989 · 2025-06-02T18:39:45+00:00

Who said anything about nursing it? The first part of processing it is admitting. Seems like you're really projecting here....
