My DS5 sometimes takes a long time to get his thoughts out too, though not 5 or 10 minutes. For him, it seems to be related to perfectionism - he wants to get the exact right words. But I would say 5 to 10 minutes sounds like something to look into.

Shellmos - that is awesome! If it works out, I would love to know which program it is, so I can suggest something similar.

Ms Friz - WOW!!! That sounds fabulous. Clone that and bring it within driving distance to me, please!
Thanks for the links!

It takes us about 15 minutes to get to school in the morning and the other day it took him almost that whole time to tell me one thing.
