[quote=Anonymous]Please don't flame me - I'm the OP of this old thread. http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/379247.page DS2 just turned 10 months, and he started pointing last week. Really pointing, textbook pointing AND following a distal point, in a 'typical' way that his HFA older brother never did, even after all the time we spent teaching him. Unlike DS1, DS2 also responds to name fairly consistently, has great gross motor skills (slight delays in fine motor), lifts his hands to be picked up, displays social referencing and joint attention and is learning to waive "bye"... Can I relax a bit now? Is it possible for a baby to be pointing this early and still have ASD? Everything I could find indicates that ASD kids who pointed started doing so after 12 months.[/quote]
