Her teachers called her mom ,crying tears of joy and dis belief to say Mary started speaking! The gave the phone to Mary and said to my daughter joyfully,Hi MOMMY! It's a miracle to me! Never give up hope!

OMG!!!!! Makes me want to cry just hearing your news. Life can be so hard, so unforgiving. It's bits like this that some of us wait for a lifetime to experience. I'm so happy for your daughter/in-law, granddaughter and you. It eases the trials and tribulations of living with autism in our world.

Wonderful story so proud of your grand daughter. My niece is autistic and when she does something she's never done before it makes my heart sing. Keep up the good work

My daughter has an autism spectrum disorder. Speech was not one of her issues.

I can only imagine how thrilled you all are!

This is wonderful!!

I teared up when I read this.

I also have a nephew who is autistic...though high functioning..he is now 18 and struggles daily with life .

I am a huge advocate for raising money for research. Not enough of light shines on this condition. Washington needs to make this a priority. My autism walks and fund raising does not put a dent in anything. PLEASE WASHINGTON.....MADE THIS TOP OF YOUR LIST.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU. THE SOUNDS OF AN ANGEL.

This is wonderful news!

Sometimes things aren't on our schedule, but what is supposed to be.

How amazing that she is in an educational place that kept fostering her to reach this goal, then were as excited as family to share it.

Many more miracles to bless this child!

Yes! Mary has been speaking every day! Her teachers are planing a program for her ! It's all new!

The teaching staff is wonderful!!! They are so looking forward to her next state evaluation! She was labeled as a two year old mentality and not really teachable. Her teacher said thru her tears,,it was the best day of her life!
