  • Hi - does your daughter get speech therapy and/or other services to help her?  As she's diagnosed with autism, you should ask for a statement of educational needs so she can get help when she starts school.  Any Child Professionals you are in touch with should be able to help you with all this.  Babbling is a good sign.  My son didn't talk until he was 5 and then said a 6 word phrase.  He had a good speech therapist who helped him with pronunciation.  You can use pictures instead of words to help your daughter.  These can be in the form of a daily "timetable".  This will be helpful to her as you can point to a picture and show her what you are going to do next.  You can also say the word relating to the picture.  Take advice from the professionals involved with your child and/or go to your GP to make enquiries.  Also when she's getting a bit nearer school age, ask to have a look at mainstream primary schools and also special schools in your area.  My son went to autism-specific schools : small classes, high pupil to staffing ratio and staff who understood autism and how it affected him as a person.  Good luckSmile
