“I’m happy to report that we see a big change in Dibs,” she said. “It has been a gradual change, but we are delighted with Dibs. He will answer us now. Sometimes he will even initiate a conversation. He is happy, calm, and showing an interest in the other children. He speaks very well most of the time, but when something bothers him he lapses back into his abbreviated, immature speech. He refers to himself as ‘I’ most of the time. Hedda is beside herself with joy. We are all very pleased with him. We thought you would like to know.”
