“When my child wants bread he says ‘nen’, I find it really adorable and it makes me laugh every time he says that but I am also trying to correct it through speech therapy so that even others can understand when he needs it.” – Parent of a child with Autism

Distortion of speech can be amusing for others but a life challenge to the child when not corrected.
