When I tell someone he's speech delayed and reading, they usually laugh into my face!
Not me. I don't know what it's like to have a non-reading child, because DS was reading at least somewhat before he could talk.
Yep. My ds used one word "sentences" when he began to read. And even odder yet, his first words (beyond "mama" "no" and "dada") were all prepositions (on, off, up, down, in, out). We were ecstatic when ds finally said "ball". My dd, OTOH, talked in full sentences incredibly early - luckily we didn't have them in reverse. Easy to go from late talking to early than the reverse.
