Late(ish) pointing and language develoment

[ItNeverRainsBut]

If your child didn't start pointing at things until 18 months or more, what was his/her language development like? I'm asking because DS (17 months) doesn't point to things (although he can follow a point), and also isn't saying much.

Neither DC pointed at all, but I think that's because they were very early talkers. OTOH DS is on the waiting list for possible very mild ASD diagnosis.

Interestingly, my DS did point etc - but even now at 2.8 has very very limited pseech and under SALT, very intelligent though, but like I say did all the gestures but still little speech, VERY little.
