My youngest son Joshua had autistic tendencies and speech delay, he's four. He can't start a conversation and he often does not respond when someone tries to talk to him. But he's been repeating more words and he can read quite a few words too. Tonight after I got the pizza out of the oven, Joshua called out to his sister "Hey Jocelyn, the pizza is ready!" I wrote down what he said and I can't wait to tell his teacher.

That's excellent news!
Hopefully before you know it, he'll be so chatty that you'll be grateful for a few moments of quiet.
Josie, that's the best news I've heard in quite a while, I'm so happy for you.
That's very exciting, Josie! It's such a joy to see progress like that. He will continue to progress with love, patience, and care, I'm sure.
This is wonderful news!
I don't really understand what autism is . I don't know any people who have it in the family. I understand it brings alot of adversity to peoples lives.
What is it exactly?
Hopefully before you know it, he'll be so chatty that you'll be grateful for a few moments of quiet.
Ya know Scully that's what I'm really hoping for.
Thanks guys for the replies.

In part:
Autism is a brain development disorder characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication, and restricted and repetitive behavior, all exhibited before a child is three years old. These characteristics distinguish autism from milder autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
