[quote=Anonymous]My son was always on the cusp of not meeting number of words milestones. At 18 months he had about 8-9 words, while pediatrician said 10 was the milestone (50 average). He never had that huge language explosion that some others kept mentioning to me "just wait, at 2 it will come". Even at 2 and 2.5 he was always on the borderline normal. He was diagnosed with ASD at 3. Btw, those posts that say "my uncle didn't talk until he was four and now he's a genius" are extremely unhelpful. For every such story there are several others that actually DID end up needing speech therapy. Absolutely no harm in starting speech therapy early. Wish we had started at 18 months instead of 2.5. We lost out on 1 year of potential progress.[/quote]
