You may not remember me but I've had advice and support from lovely people on this board while we walk the diagnosis path with both my sons. Just an update below rather than resurrecting some old threads.
DS1 is being fully investigated for autism spectrum disorder now, going to be under paediatrician, occupational therapist, educational psychologist and speech and language therapist as well as his side of physiotherapy for his flat spine!
Paed thinks DS2 has Elher Danlos syndrome, he is going to speak to a genetacist to find out if there is a specific blood test now (as there wasn't last year when the last case he worked on with this was) as well as test markers for muscle protein analysis due to low muscle tone as well as the hypermobility. He may also refer him for an ultrasound on his spine to rule in or out spina bifida due to hair at the base of his spine and his inability to bear any weight, even while held under his arms, through his legs.
