[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 471294, member: 1550"] I hate to bring up the "A" word, but regressive autism's first symptom is loss of speech. I hope you are right and she does not have this, but, if not, I would be looking into a medical reason. Kids that once spoke don't just lose the ability to speak unless it is autism...or some other medical problem. Has she seen a neurologist? He may want to do an MRI to make sure her brain is healthy. A child who has spoken and then stops...not trying to scare you...but I would take it very seriously and do the gamut of medical testing before I chalked it up to just a language problem or a psychiatric issue. At the very worse (and I pray it's not this) a tumor can cause a person to be unable to speak...my mother had this happen to her. I would not play around with this symptom. Rule everything out first then go from there. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
