Okay, I gave Jaden an apple after he asked for one (which just consists of him saying "apple". I'm pleased enought that he can say this word. But lo and behold as he is eating he points to me and says "you". I was shocked to say the least and then he points to himself and then says "I". !!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness.
Okay, for those of you who aren't too familiar with autism this is an amazing feat for Jaden or any autistic kid. Pronouns are very difficult for kids with autism. It takes them a while for them to pick them up. We haven't been working on them at home since I didn't think he could grasp that concept yet. But heck, pronouns here we come!
