My husband's mother thinks my son has a form of autism. His speech is a little behind I will admit, but I do not think it's that serious. Some days he talks just fine. I can understand everything. But some days and apparently almost everytime he talks to her on the phone, he talks like a baby. You can't understand anything at all but the last word. For example, blah blah blah box. blah blah blah play. But most days here at home with me he can ask for cereal, chocolate milk, drink, crackers, play, i want that (and points), don't want it (puts his hand up like a stop sign), etc. It's the days when he seems to regress that worry us.
