I am confused at this: the window that people speak about is largely one of having any language. Aissam seems to have a language, albeit an idiomatic one that was developed to communicate with parents. If so, he has developed the speech pathways, even if any given language will be one of second language acquisition.

Now there may be another reason, but the article is either missing context or the question was not expressed in a way where the doctor answered in a way that follows the science around the critical language period, as I understand it (at least)
