My AS-8yo has receptive/expressive language delays. Even though after therapies he is really just dealing with the receptive part of the diagnosis now. It takes him a really long time to comprehend. It is not that he doesn't hear you, it is more like he is trying to piece together what you are saying. It is frustrating at times. Sometimes I have to slow down when I tell him something or repeat myself many many times. Working with him has improved his behaviors a lot also. It will also help to know that he was a late talker. He started talking at 25 months. He was thought to have autism but it was ruled out completely when he was 3.5 years because he engaged well. He was also diagnosed with cognitive delays early on as well. Because I was able to get him EI & into speech & occupational therapy he has come a long way. He is now on target with his peers.
