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.

  • My son is turning 4 in 3 weeks and doesn't talk. He has only just started babbling so the fact yours is babbling at age 2 is a good sign. The only way my son communicates is by taking our hand somewhere, screaming, crying Or high pitch screeching. He was assessed as is classed as having severe autism and severe learning difficulties and has just started a special needs nursery/school that is for people with severe learning difficulties. ppl still tell me it's to early to tell as they say sometimes they don't talk till age 7 so plenty of hope yet. My son also can't use visuals either so the fact yours is starting to use them is a good sign. 

    All the best
