HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Autism, as you would know, is associated with problems communicating with other persons.
He may not ever communicate normally though it is possible that he may continue to improve as he persists with therapy.
This can take months to years to occur.
His therapist would be tell you about his progress and the chance of improvement.
I hope this helps
