I feel itโ€™s not my place now to tell others, it really should come from her.

I see. All the same, I don't think she would hold it against you...

Anyone here have experience with non-verbal autism?

@BA1 There's a difference between can form words and can use words to communicate. Parrots and crows can "speak" but they don't talk, except as a trick that they are trained to perform. But your comment is exactly the source of my doubt - if he can talk, I should encourage him, but if he can't, trying to force him will only frustrate him and damage his trust in me.

Why should my comment be a source of doubt? It's clear he understands basic word association, ie "mom" "dad" "yes" "no".
There is a bit of redundancy to the "bird" talk you speak of because he is not an animal....? Therefore, each word he CAN learn (or mimic) will compound as he developes.

I'm not trying to be mean or intentionally rude, but if you wish to defeat my replies, then what was the point of the post -

Should I "force" him to talk by not going where he leads, or should I encourage this very rudimentary communication?

After all...this is the baseline question, to whit, I'm in favor of verbal communication.
If there's any doubt to my support....then there really is no question to present...?
