How I Went From Nonverbal to Verbal Autism

My Mother is a Superstar! I didn't learn to properly speak until I was 6 years old. My Mother has adopted many teaching styles to help me pick up on my verbal communication skills. If you are interested in learning, please watch this video all the way through!

Wonderful to hear such a positive outcome. My little grandson is nearly 3 and is non verbal, he clearly understands language but doesn’t say anything yet. Your video is comforting to those of us who worry for our little loved ones ❤️

This gives me so much hope for my baby. These are the same things, me and my son father have been doing with my son since he was born. He is 3 and knows his abc and 123 in spanish and in english. He is finally able to say some words.❤❤❤ Thank you so much for this video. It feels good to know I'm doing something right with my baby for his autism

My darling boy is six years old and while he can pronounce words clearly, he is still developing his sentence-building skills. Despite daily reading and consistent verbal interaction, his ADHD presents a significant challenge in maintaining focus. Thank you for sharing your experiences. I will continue to explore strategies to encourage his engagement and learning.

I was non-verbal until I was about 5 years old. But I was and still am highly intelligent. Although I couldn't speak, I noticed and learned where my father was driving when we drove to my grandma. He always drove the same route. Then I once tried to do it myself on my little bycicle. But a 4 years old boy at a busy road? That is very frightening! Something could have happened to me. I was taken to the police and I came back home. My father built a fence, so that I could not do that again.

At 5 there are many things that I learned in a very short time!: speaking, writing and reading. I think I already could listen, that is: I could understand spoken language. I learned reading and writing, before I went to school.

I am Dutch. At 8 I learned a few German words, at 11 I learned Russian. My development went extremely fast! I also played organ, although I was a little boy, so that was dificult, until I became taller. I was considered as a gifted child.

Now I am in a situation that I am still gifted, almost 57 years old. But quite a lot of people considers me as developmentally challenged. Especially my employer limits me. He doesn't allow me to develop and I am not allowed to ask things about the organisation where I work.

Outside my work my development doesn't stop. I can still learn things I want, also on the social area. I am no longer socially challenged, can communicate very precisely and I love to make jokes with colleagues and family. I love traveling, either by flying or driving. I can drive everywhere (I have been driving at the right side and at the left side of the road). I speak Dutch, English, Esperanto and German fluently. At a lesser degree I speak Afrikaans, French, Russian and Japanese. I love languages!

Thank you so much. I have a nonverbal 7 year old who understands so much and used to have about 5 words that weren’t clear, but now only says 1 word ‘mom’ when frustrated. It’s very difficult to find verbal people who were once nonverbal at the typical speaking age to share their stories. I appreciate it so so much. ❤️

This truly works, my was son is 7 now but was non verbal until around 4-5 years old, so i understand

[emilyb]

If your mum is able to it might be really interesting to do an interview on this with her? Very useful positive video and what a fab dedicated mum 💕

[SilentReports]

Thanks for your sharing your story. You have provided positive autism learning hope for many autistic children and even adults. I'm a struggling verbal autistic and like that you are helping those people from your direct experiences.

What a wonderful mom!

For all parents of nonverbal level 3 autism. I’m a psychologist and I used NeurOptimal on him with attachment therapy and in one week he went from 2 words to sentences now after 30 sessions he is having complex conversations. I have only this one story to tell as I don’t normally work with autism but as a parent it’s worth looking at. I told the mum the beginning I didn’t know if it would help so I’d give her 3 free session. It’s been life changing. Also I stopped all discussions in front of him as if he wasn’t thee or if he was a problem. Thi also had a dramatic affect . The mother has also used diet which ended fits and calmed outbursts. The amazing woman in England who does intensive communication. Entering into their language helped enormously.

Your mom is a hero and God's blessing for your life ❤❤❤

[The_th_Voyager]

I was actually nonverbal myself when I was young, and it was a pain for me and my mom. Thank god I can speak full sentences nowadays. But still, I cannot thank you enough for the knowledge you bless us with, and that my fellow autistic compadre, is commendable.

Sincerely yours,
Arséne Lupin

Thank you will for your courage to share your experiences. My nonverbal autistic daughter is 7 now and we have been through every therapy know to the ASD community. She is smart and can read, meaning she comprehends just fine…and can write and spell anything new you give her. But, no speech yet 😢. All of the things your mom did with you are things we do, using “site words” in day-to-day activities to help with the child’s development. My daughter understands them, just won’t speak them, won’t attempt to. She regressed around 15 months old just when she was saying her first words like “dada, mama”. Haven’t heard dada since 😢😢
