Sorry...but had to tell other people who understand how exciting this (seemingly small milestone) is for us

Today my son who was diagnosed with autism a few months ago and is non verbal started pointing at things. He has always pointed at things in books....but has now started pointing at things he wants or finds interesting...in the air!!!

Yay!! Ok...going to go now....

Yeay

Yay!!! Fantastic news would send smiley faces if I know how to

Wonderful

YAY!

Lovely! Share the joy.

Yay! I remember the day for ds2, such a wonderful feeling!

It's a wonderful feeling. Well done to your ds!

Woo hoo! I am also celebrating a tiny/huge milestone today, but I will not steal your thunder from yours.

Thanks everyone

Claennister Oooh, please do share? I love hearing everyone's positive stories!

My daughter (nearly 10) has learned to co-ordinate her feet enough to ride a scooter. That's 7 years of determined practice paying off. I don't have other people I can tell cos their kids have been whizzing about since nursery age.

That is fantastic news, Claennister, how wonderful!

Well done to your daughter too! It's a big deal 👏

Thanks guys. I'm so excited. I hope she remembers what she's learned.
