Thank you so much. I really appreciate the time you took on this thoughtful response. It makes me feel a lot better. He does have some of the difficulties you mention but at home he’s definitely relaxed and accepted and only exhibits minor revisions, and as his speech therapist pointed out, he’s gotten so good at revisions that in most cases people wouldn’t even notice. We are patient with him and just let him communicate his way and I think within our home it’s been completely normalized. I’m super lucky that his babysitter has normalized it too! I think that’s helped him a lot. I’m just a ball of nerves to have him released in a new environment with new people without me to advocate for him. I don’t wanna discount how great my husband has been with him, but he doesn’t talk to other people about it or defend him— husband is just not assertive. He’s only got his mama who actively advocates for him when even close family tells him to “spit it out,” or mock his syllable repetition, so I’m especially grateful for the links to support organizations. Again, thank you so much.
