    I think she needs to speak to him about why he doesn't want anything done, is it fear of his son being labelled as something? or does he genuinely think there isn't a problem?
    He believes his son will catch up in time. I tried raising the subject of his speech delay gently but it obviously didn't go anywhere. Really hard to know what to say, or should I just butt out....

    TBH, I would "butt out" for now. If she raises it with you again - jump on the opportunity.

    I'm guessing that she really wants to see if there is an issue, but is being hamstrung by her DH, so maybe just butt out, but let her know that you will be there for her if she wants to talk about it because it may be hard for her to talk about it properly with her DH.
