Delayed speech alone does not mean autism,it’s important not to delay evaluation,
Pointing to communicate is actually a positive sign,t shows your child understands and wants to interact. In autism, the concern is usually not just late speech but also social communication(like not responding to name, poor eye contact, limited gestures, lack of shared interest, or repetitive behaviors
Since your child is already 2, it’s a good idea to get an assessment. Sometimes parents may miss early signs, and specialists can guide you better.
At the age of 2, not speaking words yet does not always mean autism. Many children are late talkers but catch up with time. The positive sign in your daughter’s case is that she understands everything and communicates well through pointing.
However, a detailed Speech & Language Development assessment is very important at this stage. It will help identify whether this is only a speech delay or if there are any other underlying reasons. Consulting a qualified Speech Therapist or Child Psychologist is recommended.
Early assessment and early intervention are the key – with proper therapy and language-rich activities at home, children often make very good progress.”

It's not uncommon for children to develop at their own pace, and some might need a little extra time to master certain skills. Since your daughter understands well and communicates through gestures like pointing, it's possible she might have a language delay. However, consult a pediatrician or a speech-language pathologist to assess her development and rule out any potential concerns. In the meantime, talking to her regularly, reading books together, and responding to her gestures can encourage her language growth.

Your daughter must need speech therapy. One sign not diagnosed that its autism.

Not speaking at age two does not automatically mean autism. Autism is diagnosed based on a combination of other signs and behaviors, not just delayed speech. At this age, your child may have specific language impairment, speech/language delay, or another developmental disorder.
It’s important to have your child evaluated by a speech and language pathologist, who can identify the exact reason for the delayed speech and guide the next steps. Early intervention is key, and since your child is two, this is the best time to start speech therapy, the earlier the support begins, the better the outcomes.
It's too early to say this is Autism but she is communicating it's a good sign.Start her speech therapy as soon as possible inshaallah she will start talking.
