What's rare is people who care enough to take to the time to figure out what's being said. You care, you want to understand and you're trying. I'm going to wager a guess that you are a GREAT mom.<br /><br />@ Ellen: Another post that made me cry!!! What a sweetie your Max is.

The girl worries about the social landscape. The boy wants a car. Vroooom!!!! But yes, I can see that getting actual emotional feedback means that much more when said boy has communication issues in the first place.DandGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078892548041115257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-13359357126984443492013-10-08T09:18:43.366-04:002013-10-08T09:18:43.366-04:00Even if people can't say what they want to say...Even if people can't say what they want to say with actual words, they can use what they have to get their point across.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-90335100435937433822013-10-08T08:18:39.363-04:002013-10-08T08:18:39.363-04:00I know that since my son communicates a lot with m...I know that since my son communicates a lot with me - however, hardly with words.

Either way, it's an impressive and moving act of communication. (And, from a developmental linguistics view, a sentence-like two-word combination!)

Even nonverbal children can communicate. <br /><br />Anyway!<br /><br />Yeah I'm never sure what Lila is thinking as she is nonverbal. I wish she was able to speak, to tell me what she is thinking. Yet, she cant so I try and guess using her tears. screams, body language, facial expressions as a guide. <br /><br />Natalie Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-70003645729306626972013-10-08T07:20:06.689-04:002013-10-08T07:20:06.689-04:00That made me sniffle.
