A lot of boys don't talk until 4.

It's not really evidence of a disorder without other factors.

    No they didn't tell me anything because they couldn't speak.

    I can. Somehow I lost the ability to pronounce words for a while, but I thought I was talking the whole time. I guess the adults were good enough guessers that I didn't notice.
