Hi saw a thread about autism and it has me worried. My son is 15 months. Thing is he doesnt really talk he will say hiya and says DA which we assume is his version of ta. He knows his name and if i say where is dad he goes and looks out front door and can find is toy rabbit by being asked.
Thing is he does not point which has me spooked big time as i saw this was an indicator. He will look if i point dont know if i should be worried at his age or not. He also does like playing on his own in the house will amuse himself with his toys which he can use, is playing with his shape sorter at the mo. I would not say he is passive has a wicked sense of humour is always smiling and is about as nosy as they come and takes a real interest in children.
Most of me thinks he is just an independant little boy who just hasnt pointed or talked much yet but the seed of doubt is sown and is driving up the wall with worry, that and i have spend the whole day pointing at everything
