A. It’s great that your son is undergoing therapy and has shown intelligence and communication skills through pointing. Since his EEG is normal, it suggests there are no seizure-related concerns, which is a positive sign. Many children with mild virtual autism show progress with the right therapies, structured routines, and parental support. However, if you feel something is missing, you might consider additional interventions like speech therapy, occupational therapy, or alternative communication methods (such as PECS or AAC devices). Trust your instincts as a parent—seeking a second opinion from a developmental specialist or a neurologist may provide more clarity. Keep encouraging his progress, and with consistent therapy, many children improve significantly over time.
