Answer 1

Some children with autism learn to talk eventually and some remain non-verbal or partly non-verbal. There are therapies that can help many of them learn to talk, but not all.

Many people with autism who remain partly or fully non-verbal learn to use communication devices or sign language, so even if your brother will not be able to talk he might be able to communicate in other ways.

Answer 2

As above, he can learn to talk, and behave approprately or communicate with a structured treatment regime, which is therapy, and will probably have to stay on meds, for focus and concentration, to accept and respond to therapy.

Answer 4

Answer 5

yes he might
