Hey Everybody, I'm new to this. Let me start by introducing myself. I am 31 and a mother of five.My oldest child is autistic. He is 8 years old as of yesterday. He is nonverbal. I'm curious ... what is the latest age children have learned to talk. I need honest answers. I,m past the point of wanting hope for his situation. I need reality.

Hello and welcome to WrongPlanet alynn

I am not a doctor so I don't have an "expert" opinion about your question, but I suggest watching this video and other ones of Temple Grandin, she is a recovered autistic, and you will see her speeches are very encouraging. She also wrote a few books, I admire her a lot.

Also join the forums here, we share and discuss our issues and stories. There is also a lot of information, and hopefully you will find answers to some of your questions.

hahaha I was forgetting the video! here it is:

Also another good video, from the WrongPlanet website creator/developer, Alex:

See you around on the forums
