About this blog
This is a site for discussion of issues related to twice-exceptional children and children with special needs. My goal is to post weekly, not daily. I also might invite other parents to contribute to the blog.

Interesting, but I'm not totally buying this. Looking at the screening test they used, the M-CHAT -- not to be confused with the Parisian graffiti tag M. Chat! -- I'll bet at least some of these kids have vision and/or visual processing problems, which is very common with preemies. If you can't see worth beans, you won't point or follow a finger.
Yes, I'm not totally buying it, either. I am filing it under "food for thought" for the moment. With time, and more research, it might prove to be a useful insight, or it might go the way of the whole "night-lights cause nearsightedness" study.
On a personal note, O participated in an infant vision tracking study when he was a newborn. He did extremely well, and he definitely is on the spectrum (was *not* a preemie, though).
