“Don’t worry… boys talk late.”

A sentence heard in countless Indian homes. But what if this common reassurance is delaying support for children who genuinely need it?

In this episode of The Vision Beyond Autism Podcast, Aakanksha Chitnis Gupte explores the research behind late talking in boys, the belief systems families grow up with, and why “wait and watch” may not always be the safest advice.

A grounded conversation on child development, parental intuition, communication differences, and the fine line between reassurance and dismissal.
