[quote=Anonymous]The socialization will come when the speech comes. You cannot have social play well without speech (as does imaginary play). My five year old has expressive and receptive and it started to show improvement at 4, and now at 5, he still struggles but its pretty mild per the testing. Socially at school he's doing great. Beginning of the year was a bit of a struggle but his teachers are amazing and now have no concerns. If anything, a few comment he talks constantly and they have to tell him to be quiet (they are thrilled). There are features that look like autism that are common in speech delayed kids, which is why many often get an autism diagnosis when its really a speech issue. Given he's just turning three, I would not worry. There are a few late talker Facebook groups that are wonderful and really supportive. But, you may need a different school enviroment.[/quote]
