Misty Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I'm not sure what normal is.. But I have a 3yr old boy who seems to have fantastic speech.. The only problem is he reverses pronouns consistently. It doesn't seem to be related to echolalia-type pronoun reversal, but he is on the autism spectrum (slightly). Should I be concerned or wait longer? His sisters have Asperger's and he shows a lot of these signs.. But the pronoun reversal is the only thing he seems to have trouble with.. he calls boys "her" and girls "him" randomly.. Like he just can't figure out which one to use for which gender.

courtney.byrum Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I'm pretty sure my DD did that until close to 4. I don't know at what age you would start to worry but I don't think it's an issue at 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verity Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Misty, When they are still doing it at 7. Heather Yes - my middle son was reversing pronouns up until this school year (2nd grade - age 7) and reading this I realized that I haven't noticed this issue in recent months. Yay! Now if I can just get my four year old to stop calling me "Sir". LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
