  • Micah McGuire, a five-year-old boy from Ashville, Ohio, brought joy to his family when he said his name, and the names of family members, for the first time.
    As an autistic child, Micah was considered to be non-verbal until a few weeks ago when he overcame all expectations and said names for the first time.
    “He has spoken a few words before, but it was all once in a blue moon, always random and he would never do it again,” his mother, Haley McGuire, told Storyful.
    She added, “He is now repeating almost everything we ask, helping to sing songs with Mommy, and starting to repeat sentences like ‘More, please’ and, ‘I love you.’”
    “We are over the moon as Micah as officially gone from non-verbal autism to pre-verbal autism.”

    You can see in his eyes that he's really trying to get the words out , it won't be long until he's speaking full sentences! Good job little man!

    People don’t understand how much this means to a family with an autistic child! Hearing my son say “momma” for the first time was so exciting and emotional! 😮‍💨🙌🏾❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

      I don't have anybody in my family that's autistic, but its good to cheer them because if you don't, they won't continue what they are doing because they think that thats not what they are supposed to do, so if you cheer them, they can understand that why they are doing is good.

    This is so beautiful and made me tear up. Its an amazing experience to watch things like these as they are big milestones for an autistic child.
    My 7yr old has High function ASD, he can talk and have eye contact but struggles with comprehension and socializing with kids same age as him can be a challenge.

      Keep helping him to move forward and master more skills. Sometimes it can be tiring and repetitive, but it is worth it. Your child can grow up to live a more independent life even after you pass away. My child is an adult now, and is living a quasi-independent life with family determined community supports. It is possible.

    As the father of a non verbal autistic toddler, this video gives me some hope. Thank you for sharing it. I notice almost identical behavior in Micah as I do my daughter. The hand flapping when he’s excited is exactly what my girl does. He also puts his knees into his dad’s chest when he picks him up. My daughter always does that. I can tell this dad turned it into a little game by flipping him over. I’ll have to remember to try that when she’s a little older.

      Hang in there! My son is almost 12 & has autism. He spoke very little (one word answers) & couldn't hold conversations. He has come leaps & bounds over the years. He still needs a lot of support, but he's improving all the time so i have high hopes. I'm so proud of him. 😊

      Here is a great start always PAUSE at a word you want him to say... start by slowly saying READY SET GOOOO.. when you say the word go say it in a goofy exciting way.. when he get excited with it the say READY SET but dont say GOOOO. Instead make a stuttering sound like you cant get the word out... then he will want to say it for you.. encourage him to say words that way... I know the struggle..
