My son was also diagnosed with autism. His language did not become legible until he was 5. Speech therapy was not beneficial initially, as he did not want to communicate. He did mimic words and sounds, but had no verbal skills until 3 years old. When he demonstrated a desire to communicate, therapy was resumed. Rewarding speech skills proved invaluable.
