It seems to happen in clusters of time, like groups of sentences at a time, then nothing weird for hours. Although just now she was playing with pretend food and said"grape-ape", but it was just the one word. I will look into getting a speech evaluation, thanks for the replies.

Sorry, that was meant to read merld or tbi are. Traumatic brain injury? I certainly hope not...

It is not ASD or merld. ASD mom believes everything is. A good speech therapist can get it out. National speech in Bethesda has a great one who specializes in studdering. .
