Autism Speech Delay in 5 Year Old

Our son Alistair is almost 6 and still struggles a lot with language. He's doing better, but we go into more detail about what he's getting right and where he needs more help. Feel free to comment on our Facebook account:
Thanks everyone! #autism #autismawareness #autistic

What a sweet boy. He speaks so clearly. More clearly than some neurotypical 5 year olds I teach. Amazing patient parents. It’s beautiful to see a child so loved and supported

My 4 year old doesn’t talk yet but seeing this brings me to tears (happy and heart warming) because I see so much of him in your son… the faces, hands, mind all over the place and he is so loving and inclusive to you both… thank you for posting this 🥹🤍

He can't answer the age but if you say it another way he will say yes. He answers his way. Smart boy.

I think Alister talks real good. I understood every word he said.

It reminds me of how I was at that age.
As time goes on his social and speech skills will improve.
After watching your other videos I know its not a matter of "if" but when.
An understanding and supportive family will be his greatest asset in life.

He expresses himself well. He seems to like art. The painting pleases him that might be a indication of something that he’ll enjoy “painting “

You are an incredible example to all fathers to any child. I appreciate your sharing this

I don't know but this little boy speaks way better than many 5 year olds that I know.

my best friend's son is autistic and her husband is...just awful to the boy. You guys are so good with him.

He is not having a problem talking he is having a hard time with reciprocal conversation

My heart just melted🥰 my twin boys born at 33weeks (now 3) are displaying signs of echolalia and palilalia.

My nephew has been four years old for a few months. This boy here seems to be doing way better. My nephew only says random words. He can only sing kid songs but has absolutely no idea what they mean. You call his name and he will not respond. He does not miss his mom on the other side of the world. He only says a few random words. He cannot use the restroom yet. He is in his own little world. He will go to a playground and he does not even understand the concept of going to play like a normal child. He will just be amazed by a water fountain.
