Two year old. Doesn't speak...

FairyCake2015

My son has recently been diagnosed with ASD.

I know he's only two. But he doesn't talk. I'm so anxious that he will never talk, I feel sick to my stomach. I know communication is so vital in today's world. 

He's been advised to communicate via visuals... But I'd like to know how I or a professional can get him to start. He babbles, and is quite vocal some days.

  • I wouldn't worry too much about it because I myself being someone with Autism I didn't talk in my early years I was that wouldn't complain just happy and sat there with my toys but my parents took me to these special speech people not sure what it was but they helped a lot of autistic or aspergers etc to talk and they got me talking not too much straight away but after a few meetings and a couple of months I was talking more and speaking in general is still a struggle and I think will always be and if that don't work sorry I have no clue has to what else could do the trick for you really
