[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was going to say the same thing as PP. The concern is not the lack of the point but the lack of joint attention. The fact your kid does not try to point to show you things is concerning. I would.defiently talk to my pediatrician.[/quote] This is ridiculous. The child is pointing to show things with a whole hand, not a single finger. If that is anything, it is a sign of fine motor delays, not autism. If you are truly concerned, you might consider a physical therapy or occupational therapy evaluation. The fact that a child is pointing but not isolating a lone finger does not show a lack of joint attention. It shows a lack of finger control.[/quote] In a later post she says the kid doesn't try to point out things to her either. That is a concern. I'd talk to my ped about it. From your description, I'd think mild asp/autism (for the pp who mentioned it, asp is a type of autism) was a real possibility.[/quote]
