[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Just took son for a walk on this lovely day. It was a running commentary of everything he saw.

“I see a bird awww hi bird. I hear a dog.  Let’s go see the dog. The trunk is broken (seeing a cut tree). I hear a bird. pushing the stroller. It’s a baby. My hat blew off. I hear a dog... hiiii. Flowers“

So the words are there the back and forth is lacking [/quote]

Next time you go for a walk, stop at something he points out and discuss it. You may be able to get back and forth that way. Go slow, speak REALLY plainly, no long sentences. [/quote]

Good tips. I did respond to everything he would say but stopping to look at it more carefully may bring more discussion.

When he mentioned the birds I’d ask  “oh where is the bird?” (He didn’t answer just said hi birds) for the I hear a dog “Yes the doggy is barking” He did  reply “dog barking” so maybe that counts as back and forth? Or was it more echolalia? Hard to say! By the third dog (there are lots of dogs in our neighborhood lol. I said “the cat is saying MEOW” he looked at me with a sparkle in his eyes “nooo. Woof woof!”.  [/quote]
