So do any of your kiddos say "yes"?
A knows "no", has known and uses the "no" appropriately for a long time. Now J also seems to know the word "no" as well..... However I never hear A say "yes", if we offer something that we know he wants or an activity to do that he would be agreeable he never says "yes", he just repeats what we say.
I ask him to repeat "yes" from time to time and he can say the word and even does the ASL sign for it even though he isn't signing as much as he used to....but he doesn't use it in regular talking. Weird?
Re: Saying "yes"
O says it but not very often. I think that is because he is still avoiding the "s" sound. He does say "uh huh" or "yeah" regularly though. So, I suppose he is saying "yes", just in a different way.
Nate says "okay" instead of yes, or sometimes "yeah".
Now he says yes, sure, maybe, mhmm, etc.
This. She will occasionally say 'okay'

Yes, he uses it regularly, the same as he uses "no".
I don't think it's weird that he doesn't say it, though. He prob just has other ways of getting his point across.
Maybe when you ask him something, form the question in a way that encourages a "yes" response, or just keep making him actually say "yes" before you give him something. That's what we did to teach him to say please & thank you, etc.
She says yes mostly when she is arguing with me. But she also says it frequently when I offer her something she wants.
