It's more than possible.
My 7 month old has been calling me "Mamamama" since 5 months old. He only uses it for me, not anything else. He also has said "Nununu" since then- for "num nums" which is what we've always called his bottle. He calls his dada "Bababa" consistently since he doesn't do a D sound yet and my 10 y/0, he says "Wawa" - for Allaura.  |

I think so. One of my cousins could say a few words at nine months. I could say "moth" and "up" when I was 10 months.

I gotta get this on video! |
I'm pretty sure he is saying milk too. Milk is an important word to babies. As is "bottle, eat, no and mamma". I am sure he is saying Uh-oh too because babies seem to love to say that word because it sounds funny. I've been around babies that will say "uh-oh" non-stop all day when they first learn the word. You probably have a brilliant little Aspie on your hands who is just picking up language quicker than most babies. How's his walking and crawling skills? Probably not that good I would imagine since he's talking so well. |
Actually, he has been crawling for months and is quite fast. He is walking with push toys and can stand momentarily by himself. He is cruising not only on the furniture, but along the walls too. He opens cupboard doors and has been turning pages in a board book for months. Weeks ago, I was in the bathroom, and he was outside the door, trying to use the door handle to open the door and come see me.
I guess he sort of seems advanced in all areas. |

According to my parents, I started walking and talking at 9 months. They say that I started sounding like I was trying to talk at about 4 months (pointing at water and saying "wah-wah", for example), but that stuff is hard to prove. By 9 months, I was using complete words.
I thought 9 months was a normal age at which to start talking.
Also, I gather from this site that it's common for aspies to start talking sooner than average. |

from a milestone website:
| Quote: |
He'll begin by using his tongue, lips, palate, and any emerging teeth to make sounds ("ooh"s and "ahh"s in the first month or two, babbling shortly thereafter). Soon those sounds will become real words ("mama" and "dada" may slip out and bring tears to your eyes as early as 4 to 5 months).
From then on, your baby will pick up more words from you and everyone else around him. And sometime between 18 months and 2 years, he'll begin to form two- to three-word sentences. As your baby makes mental, emotional, and behavioral leaps, he'll increasingly be able to use words to describe what he sees, hears, feels, thinks, and wants.

I think good feedback on the word-sounds reinforces language developement.
My NT son said tractor and bulldozer at 10 months! He could also say milk, food and more. (he sure got his priorities right with his choice of words - machines and food were a great start  ) He didn't walk until 14 months, though.
He turned into an early reader who is great at language. |

I just went back and looked at the journal for my son:
10 months - walking. saying words from books like "GO DOG GO" (the Dr. Seuss book) - approx 20+ words.
11 months - I purchased one of those large floor puzzles made of the foam/spongy material - this one was for the alphabet. I told him "Find me a letter O". He would retrieve it and say "O!!!" And he would do this for several letters.
14 months - counting to 5 by himself. Higher with help.
So yes - it is totally possible!!! 
Every child progresses differently. I find it fascinating. |

| Very possible. My aspie son started not only saying words, but using them correctly at 5 months. By 18 months old he had a 3000 word vocab. At 9 months I think he was around 500-800 words (he still to this day names things he sees, just like he did as a toddler). (My son is the Aspie type that spoke early with clear pronounciation and speaks like a little professor now.) |

My mom swears I was saying "mama" by the time I was 3 weeks old. She said she was terrified of me. I was an early talker, yet I didn't ever crawl much and I didn't learn to walk till 18 months. So maybe some babies are much advanced in one area, but less advanced in other ways.

Similar story with me. I started saying words at around 6 months (but couldn't sit up), learned all my colours and shapes at around 9-10 months, and I was actually -arguing- with my mother at the age of one, because she was teaching me my face, and I was adamant "fumph" was "nose". (or "fünf".. she thinks it's to do with the 1988 olympics on the TV a lot at the time, and I'd just heard the German word for five when she was teaching me!) But I didn't walk until I was near two years old.
