My younger sister was non verbal, even now there is a lot of echolalia. She's currently in 6th year (huge age gap between us
), last year she got 4 distinctions in subjects out of 5 of the Highers she sat. She is a truly amazing girl. Her first nursery Christmas nativity, the nursery told my dad and step mum they should just keep her off that day because she wouldn't be participating like the other children. Now she's getting up on stage accepting all sorts of awards she has won in secondary school.
