My son is 8 has ASC and language delay.  I’ve noticed he says waterlemon instead of watermelon and ice cream leaf instead of  nice green leaf.  Is this autism or something else?

  • I can only speak from experience. My son for many years had difficulty with language particularly with some phrases. We were told by a speech and language person to use the correct phrase in a reply rather than correcting. This difficulty remained until he was in his teens, but eventually he got it right.

    However I had an aunt who used to use similar but incorrect words and she was not autistic.
