7:04 - Dear autism live, I am writing from Ireland. My four year old child is being assessed for autism has some words like, Mommy, go, hello, me, he calls himself 'doi' his name is John. He said bubbles in his first session last week and he sings happy birthday to himself and jingle bells. He also loves to say happy birthday. What can I do to improve his speech and is my child considered verbal or nonverbal. The clinical psychologist Said that he also has words hidden under his tongue in the form of echolalia. We said to him when he met the paediatrician that you are going to meet the doctor. He actually said the word doctor but just once. Infact this happens often. He says a word and it disappears.
