I wonder what's happening when you pull away the visual? I know with my ds7 he's still "seeing" that visual when he talks, because sometimes he does air writing to help himself figure out what he's saying. It's still frustrating for him, of course, because I feel like he's a nonnative English speaker who has to consult the ds7-to-English dictionary in his head every time he speaks a sentence longer than 5 words.

But I think it's noteworthy that your son loses that connection when he loses the visual. (Edit: If you don't mind me saying. I'm new here, so if I make mistakes on the protocol on these things I apologize. I feel like dh and I sometimes spend all our waking hours trying to decode what our kids are doing. I am stuck on "why does he do that? and what will make it better?" mode.
