Guest guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 You just described my daughter exactly! Well, almost exactly. She is not saying every name yet, but she makes approximations, and does not read as many words. But it's essentially the same description! (replace " he " with " she, " of course) " DJ has LOTS of words, he can echo the ending word of any sentence you say, he can remember and say anyone's name. He can imitate any sound, including the sounds of people's laughter (very embarrassing in a restaurant when he imitates the one person with a " uniquely loud " laugh!!) He can say all the letters of the alphabet: capitals, lower case, or signed. He can read about 40 words. He can do so many more things. But he CANNOT ask for what he needs or tell you that something is bothering him. He needs an alternative form of communication. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
