except

can describe objects without being asked

unless you meant he/she can decribe them but doesn't know corresponding word?

though I was diagnosed to have austism only

I am autism+ADHD,

it's possible to learn to mask behaviour resulting from ADHD, so doctor didn't notice

very poor attention span 

ADHD makes us to switch focus, not lose focus, not neccessarily on something we want to do

probably most complicated of ADHD traits  to befriend

don't lock it in a closet it's a powerful friend

it's good he is running, he will need it against bullies

ask him/her if he/she can see things in his/her head, when you are asking for description

What age did you properly speak?

Why do people with autism or ADHD tend to get bullied?

How do I get my child to stop running up and down lifts

full sentences, when I was 8, I think it was slowed a bit because I was close with my sisters, one was 1 year and the other 3 years younger, they were doing the talking, but I have memories of events from as early as 4 that I remember what was said. Simply there was no need earlier. That 'no need', means without reason nothing happen, is a bit of an impediment still, but it it is most likely only my trait, but when there is need, I can do amazing things in short time, like learning VBA in 2 weeks, so I could write macros for excel at college.

people are affraid of strange, alien and unknown and often react to it with violence, there are always kids that were not thought anything by their parents, I was the smallest in my class so that was one morereason why I was picked on. Just make sure your kid is not being blamed for it like I was. If he/she will start to talk earlier she/he will start sharing his knowledge earlier and small-minded do not like it, they take it for showing off, or that it presents them badly in comparison or other reasons like that, to react with aggression.

it's fun, few orders of magnitute better than other kinds of fun, probably involving some imagined concept. like chasing the ray of light, or invisible friend, or hide and seek with the shadow, or many other possibilities. It's good for stamina and imagination unrestrained develops faster.
