[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes normal. It’s how he processes, actually a good sign. [/quote]

But it doesn’t seem that he is comprehending it. Like he would continue walking while repeating ‘carry you’ so I don’t know what to make of it.[/quote]

It’s a type of processing. My kid was delayed too and we saw a speech therapist - kids who process like that need the full context of things before they start talking on their own. While it sounds like he doesn’t understand it, he’s repeating it to fit into different contexts in his brain. Likely he will go from not talking to speaking full sentences and paragraphs, like mine did. A speech therapist could explain it better than I, but they immediately said that’s what would probably happen, and it did. My kid still repeats as she learns new things. [/quote]

Remembered - it’s called Gestalt Language Processing. You can look it up but the internet will scare you with possible autism. My speech therapist said the majority of kids seen as delayed process with Gestalt because it just naturally comes later, and the vast majority do not have autism. My kid does not.  [/quote]
