Boy breaks silence, shocks parents

LONDON (UPI) -- The mother of a young boy with a severe communication disorder says she is "over the moon" with happiness since he spoke for the first time.

Jamie Jenkins, 5, of Swindon, England, who has Autistic Spectrum Disorder, brought joy to his parents when he uttered the words "mumma" and "purple" for the first time, The Daily Telegraph reported Saturday.

"I'm over the moon. I give so much to Jamie and I try so hard all the time," his mother Emma Jenkins said. "He has been trying for a long time, but he has properly said a word now."

Jamie has been visiting London's National Light and Sound Therapy Center where he participated in therapy sessions twice each day, the British newspaper said.

Jamie's mother said he now says the words "purple" and "mumma" frequently.

I am so happy to hear that your son finally spoke after all these years. God can do miracles if you continue to believe and have faith. I will keep your family in my prayers. I believe in your son and I also believe he will continue to speak other words if you keep believing in him.

"Boy breaks silence"

I have recently started taking and distributing all natural nutritional products. Recently went to a seminar on these products and met a gentlemen / father there and he told a story about his autistic son. His 4 year old son had never spoken a word since birth and he recently started taking these all natural products and also put his son on the childrens all natural suplments / nutrition and after two week of being on these products his son was jumping on a trampoline and yelled actual words to his dad. His Dad said "I just started crying with joy" after 4 years of no words this simple product of all natural good nutrition my son spoke to me. This story just touched my heart and so I thought I would share it with you. I am by no means trying to promote anything but if something so simple could help any child that would just be a wonderful thing. You may reach me at 443-570-4663 if you have any other questions
