[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SLP here. Sounds like stuttering to me. At age 5 I wouldn't be terribly worried unless there is a family history or if it is worsening over time. Create a relaxed communication time each day of about 15 minutes. Reduce your speaking rate, don't rush child's communication, and don't allow anyone to interrupt her speech or talk over her. [/quote]
Stuttering is not only in the last syllables of words. I don't think that's it.
OP, my son did this. It sounded like he had fun decoding and deconstructing words, making rhymes. He has ASD.

If that's the only thing you're concerned about, I think it's ok. Remember that ASD runs in families, and siblings may have some autistic traits without fully meeting the diagnosis criteria. Also, HFA presents very differently in girls.[/quote]

Yes, stuttering most typically occurs on initial sounds or syllables. However, there are variations. This variations exists and is more often seen in Autism and neurological conditions such as tics or tbi.[/quote]

This child is not identified with autism.  Why does everything have to be traced back to Autism?[/quote]

Who said everything is traced to autism? And why are you sensitive about it?
This child is at higher risk for asd because of her brother's diagnosis. No one is diagnosing her over the internet, people with similar experiences are sharing theirs. Chill.[/quote]

[b]The poster clearly put no ASD[/b], so yes, you are not answering the questions and making it about ASD.  OP should seek speech therapy for her child.[/quote]

No.
OP said "I don't think she has either (so far as I can see now)..."
