   Summary

   Will was just a "late bloomer". There was nothing wrong with his voice so no one knew why he didnt speak.

   Joyce isnt a bad mum and Jonathan isnt a bad brother they just truly will never understand Will. Hes 7 he should be able to speak.

   But after the wheeler family moved into hawkins, will didnt need for them to understand because he finally found his voice
