This question is asked simply out of curiosity. Did you ever meet or hear about an autistic who doesn't speak at all - not even a few words?

There was an unusual news story I linked to in this forum about 2 years back, an 18 year old man spoke for the very first time on the way home from his grandmother's funeral. After that it didn't take much to get him talking all the time and then they found out that he spoke 13 different languages.

He had spent his whole life watching cartoons on a phone, mostly sponge bob, what they hadn't realised was that he would watch the same cartoons in as many languages as he could find.
