@nylrehs79 Welcome to Mayo Connect! We are all patients, family members and/or caregivers here, not medical doctors. We offer our experiences and share with others, to help offer strength on this journey of life.

You mentioned that you feel your son was not able/allowed to develop his speech abilities. There are some resources you can look at that may be able to give you some ideas that he could use. https://www.autismspeaks.org/adults-autism is an organization that has many programs. Also, the Center for Disease Control has links and ideas https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/links.html

Having autism, being diagnosed on the autism spectrum, does not need to be a dire situation. We process things differently than most people, but it is not impossible. I hope you are able to look at these sites and find some useful information for your situation.

Will you come back and let me know how I can help you?
