is it ok that my two year old dd does not always extend her index finger when she points? Most of the time she does but on a few occasions she hasn't . Honestly this would not have worried me a few months ago and I never noticed with my ds ( now five) but there has been so much in the media about autism and I read an article about pointing in the doctors surgery the other day . Am prone to worry and am being treated for depression at mo.
Can't find anything on this specifically in the archives.
Also she spends all day going whazzat/whatziz but doesn't always look at me when she asks this and does not always (mostly but not always) point to what she is talking about so there have been a few occasions when I have been clueless what she is on about. Just a normal two year old thing - or a sign of something not being right with her communication ? Language is very good and she understands everything.
Sorry to be so neurotic ......
