Literally everyone.
I think you mean something more like "... still nonverbal at the age of 5+ ... "
To that, I don't know of any. But I'd bet there are at least a few. The world is a big place, and betting against the existence of an extreme outlier is usually a bad bet.
I'm going to assume you clicked and replied without reading what community you're in?
This is an autism community.
Your comment essentially says "lol everyone starts out that way" then "other than that, idk", which is not helpful when the OP is asking for examples in regards to autism/ND individuals.
You're absolutely right about being "not helpful when the OP is asking for examples in regards to autism/ND individuals."
However it is helpful to point out when someone phrases their question poorly.
Especially in a place known for people being quite literal minded.

EDIT: To be clear, the previous two lines were a bit of a joke. Using most of your same words back to you, to make a very similar point that you may have missed, while you thought I may have missed something.
At least I thought it was funny anyway.
I gotchu. I read it literally the way you say at first.
This is exactly the kind of joke I make all the time which is what prompted my friend to ask if I was autistic.
