[quote=Anonymous]My toddler failed the mchat assessment leading up to the 18 month check-up, pretty much entirely because of pointing with the whole hand rather than a finger. Doesn't point to try and show things; will just reach had toward something to label it. Can isolate a finger to push a button and has a good pincer grasp, so it doesn't seem like a fine motor issue. Has 70+ words, so hard to believe it could be autism or a serious delay...still feeling very worried. Of course will love our child all the same if there is a diagnosis- but it's still a ton of anxiety. Feeling blindsided because child seemed advanced with the large vocabulary. Also failed the question about trying to get you to watch or look. Anyone with a toddler similar around that age- particularly no pointing- how did things turn out? [/quote]
