Hi @mumof3boys Welcome to the online community.
Have you tried calling the helpline? If not click on this link for how to do that http://www.scope.org.uk/about-us/contact-us/helpline
This is another link on Scope, that may be helpful http://www.scope.org.uk/support/families/diagnosis/autism
Keep tuned in to the online community as there are many people who may have gone through the same thing. -

@mumof3boys You don't say what equipment he is using with the headphones. Are his headphones connected to a laptop, tablet or some other piece of equipment?

An example is this piece of software that allows the user to talk and have the software learn the speech etc. It's called Dragon http://www.nuance.co.uk/for-individuals/by-product/dragon-for-pc/home-version/index.htm
And for example a screen keyboard in windows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtBi3lK9S4o

@mumof3boys Oh OK I see what you mean. Does he wear them all the time?

Ok so he can go to sleep without them. I can understand that you can't get a speech therapist on the NHs. I had great difficulties getting a speech therapist for my daughter.
I don't know whether you could afford a therapist, but this link, will allow you to find a speech therapist in your area and once you have found them, you can type in the search dialogue box "Selective Mute", it will find therapists that deal with that. I will put the link, in case you might want to try it. http://www.helpwithtalking.com/Default.aspx
However, hang on in here, and I am sure somebody who has gone through similar issues will be on to help. -

Good luck @mumof3boys I hope you manage to get something done, for the sake of your son, and you, of course.
Don't forget to keep on posting in the forum. Lots of nice people to chat to.
