Toddler isn’t pointing
My daughter is going to be 14 mo in a few weeks. She still isn’t pointing with her index finger. She will point with her whole hand (as she’s been doing since like 9 mo) and either wiggle her index finger or hold it up higher just a bit (like in this photo). I know the milestone is technically 15 mo but I can’t help but to feel it’s delayed and I know it’s a major indicator of autism.
She waves, blows kisses, shakes head no, claps, walks, shows toys, understands a lot, has just a few words. She’s super interactive with me and dad but takes her time to warm up. She is cautious in new environments at first but usually warms up.
She is very active and always hoping from activity to activity.
She loves trying to put things together. She can’t hold
