[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine didn't talk until he was 4.  Combo of developmental delay and a tongue tie.  School system wanted to label him eligible under Autism even though Dev Ped. still adamantly says no, even after 5 years.

Once his language started catching up, a lot of the social emotional problems improved or resolved because he could understand what we wanted and also express how he was feeling.

Also, labels/diagnoses are not supposed to drive services.  Mine still did self contained enhanced autism until this year so he could get more intensive services.[/quote]

PP Did you get the tongue tie clipped?[/quote]

Yes, at about 3.75 years of age.  We didn't even know about it when he was a newborn because he was still a champion nurser.  When we realized it and had him seen, by more than one person, they both said they don't put children under to clip them anymore unless it interferes with speech.  Although delayed, after around 3.5, he was trying to talk and was beyond frustrated because he could hardly form any hard consonants.  We had it clipped and now, at 8, although still catching up, he is Mr. Social and only has real trouble with TH; all the other speech therapy is to undo habits around L/R/W.  He can make all these sounds, but it isn't automatic for some words yet.
