My daughter is 6yrs old and non verbal. She's beginning to mumble alot and repeat words. She loves to watch shows in different languages. Will this hinder her from learning her primary language first?

DSM stands for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and V is the latest edition used to diagnose a number of mental disorders including ASD.
