Hi. My answer is this. Some kids do slowly remember stuff about themselves. Other I would first recommend a little encouragement. Later on I would continually get his attention and tell him the stuff you want him to know, repediatly.

I don't think that means that he doesn't know it at that time. I have 3 kids and all 3 have learned that information at different times. I think he just doesn't want you to keep asking him or he doesn't want to answer at that time. Have someone that he knows that he might not see everyday ask him if he knows his name. Even if he can not say it due to his speech, if he knows his name and information I wouldn't worry about it too much.
