My Seven year old is speech and language delayed he can talk in short sentences but often speaks in jargon. Is this common?

Good morning 75657, I am Number.
I believe that it is VERY, VERY common for autistic folk of any age or background to have atypical forms of communication......so I really don't think that your seven year old's current style is anything to worry about - at all.
I happen to be an autistic soul who can communicate in a plethora of communication styles, including the jargon filled short sentences that you mention above.
My default communication style here on this forum (these days, as a 50+ year old) tends to be very florid and wordy. However, in real life, my style of communication can change instantly .... depending on my mood and whom I am speaking with .... it used to scare me ... and it still unsettles other people !! I am a very good mimic.
May I ask......what "type" of jargon does he speak in?

Thank you When he’s playing usually either chatting or naming objects and people, made up words.
