My nephew toohis homelife was real chaotic, and maybe he wasn't getting enough attentioni.e., parents would just let him sit in front of the TV all daywhen he stays with me, we force him to talkpointing and grunting/whining/crying, etc...to get what he wantsWe had to ignore that, and force him to say what he wantedI think alot of times, those around him may have been trained to react to his signalswhich resulted in him not having to talkIt was more like forcing him to have a conversationinstead of pointing at stuff, you want this, you want this, etc...it became, tell me what you want, I don't know what you're saying, etc...he's 5 now, and has no issues communicating
