The SLP's count (based on my list, I just wasn't sure what should be counted -- she counted the english words, not the onomatopoeic ones, and all signs ASL and non-asl) was "about 40" Normal is 50.
<throws hands up in despair>
Even taking my count, which was 18-20, just the english words, and maybe some of the more "wordy" onomatopoeic ones still sounds like it would be "safe." <8 is a number used in a some studies as a cut-off.
I don't even know why we're in this mess, the DR just got futzed about a number on a milestone chart, and now everyone is insane.

(He does know colours, about 6 planets, what a rainbow rasp-fish is, and stuff like that by pointing... There is a really big disparity between his receptive and his expressive. I suppose his "Delay" might look more significant scaled to his receptive language rather than to his age, but.... I'm not ready to reduce his life to three word sentances for THAT)
