I think that it is interesting question.

I remember that I once read that I said first word when I was 7 months old (od something lukę that).

I had no speech delay but my mom was asked this during my diagnosis. She said just after I was a year old. I walked late though, around 2 years old, and I walked on my toes so badly that one of my achilles tendons is permanently shortened.

I'm not sure, but I think I was maybe about a year old.

I was 14 months when I said my first word. But at 9 months I could understand "bye bye", because my mum says that whenever she told me, "say bye-bye", I would wave.

Age 5 1/2 years. It was a phrase, actually: "I see a ball."

Nobody's been able to shut me up since!

No one remembers. Problems got worse as I had vocabulary of single words for awhile.

I believe I was 9 months old. My first word was "no", shortly followed by "cake".

Around age 7 years and 10 months. Starting with "no", "mine" "eat" and "juice". I stayed monosyllabic until after I turned 10. I still can't really string together sentences to hold a regular conversation. So I am still primarily nonverbal.

Maybe around six months. I think it was "mom" or "dad." At eleven months, I said the name of our first cat.

When I was three. I was told I knew how to talk but didnt. They said I was unusually introverted and quiet. So not sure if actual delay or just refusal to talk

When I was two. I did see a speech therapist I think to see why I wouldn't talk. But I just suddenly talked in full sentences one day. Not sure why. Had a lot of problems with English/language in elementary school because of this delay.

I was a year old when I said my first word. I started speaking in sentences when I was 4.
