Last year, I was asked to teach a local autistic child basic sign language. He was 9 years old and up to that point, had never communicated with his parents in any way. I was rather shocked that the parents hadn't made any effort sooner. He was already 9 years old! But anyway, teaching him, as well as the parents, basic sign to communicate his needs REALLY helped him, I think!
