[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks to so many of the posters who shared their insights and personal experiences!  Really helped a lot, actually.

Some of the nastier posters may not have read in my initial post that we are already being quite vigilant about ADHD-inattentive as both my DH and my son have it (as well as extended family members on DH's side) – and my son actually had speech delays when small though as a 10 year old now you would never know it.  He's a straight-A student despite being quite daydream-y, and he sometimes still struggles with reading comprehension, although he has caught up with that as well.

So this is not my first time going through this, but every child is different.  My LO definitely has an edge in many areas my son did not, so we are confident the speech issue will resolve in time, but I'm not ashamed to say that working at it every day and waiting is exhausting.  Again, on the days where the progress seems so slow, it's just nice to touch base with other parents and remind yourself this won't go on forever.

Thank you again to those who genuinely reached out.[/quote]

You need to step back and think of progress in terms of years.  I remember the first school conference my husband and I attended that speech was not the biggest or only issue.  We walked out and went "phew".  It was very slow coming but it came.

And to the dopes who say all speech issues at four lead to autism, they have no idea what they are talking about.[/quote]
