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.

    The "special speech people" are Speech and language therapists - often shortened to SALT or SLT in discussions on the forum. Try googling for it and you will find a lot of stuff.

    Speech delay is quite common but I believe that it is very very rare for it to last very long. it's good to have Matt's perspective from having been on the receiving end of their assistance.
