Norrin has learned to speak but he still struggles. His language varies between scripted and spontaneous. Often only those closest to him can understand what he says. And there are moments when I ask that he repeat himself.
When Norrin repeats lines from movies or shows memorized, I wonder what he's really trying to say. If he scripts I wonder if he doesn't have the ability to say what he means. And when his speech is spontaneous - even if it's as basic as asking for juice - I am relieved that he can express himself appropriately.
I try to ask him questions, I try to get him to talk to me. I try to get him to talk about things that aren't part of a script or something he's memorized. I am not always successful. His answers are almost always rote.
