We have waited 17 years to hear our daughter speak. She was diagnosed with autism at 2 years old and has had limited communication via her mouth. We have used sign language, an augmentative device, and telepathy to understand her. It's amazing how well she communicates without words. This is a blog about our journey and the exciting things that we are hearing as she continues to make progress. Words at 17 years old feel like a miracle!

Singing the ABC's
Molly and Jack had covered themselves in paint and had moved to the tub to get clean. Jack (2 years old) is singing the ABC's. It is only as I watch this video now that I can hear Molly (4 years old) trying to sing it too. You will hear her typical "grunting" noise that used to make me crazy. Not sure when that particular language shifted, but I'm glad that it has. You will note in all of the early video footage that Jack is very engaging with us and Molly just runs around (or in this case sits) not really paying that much attention to the camera (or whomever is videoing). Jack, on the other hand, is ALL about seeing himself.
