Have been concerned about DS for a number of years but not really been able to fit his set of difficulties to any particular diagnosis. He is nearly 7. Areas of difficulty:
reading and writing (making progress but behind his peers)
riding bike and scooting scooter
climbing (on climbing frames)
swimming (behind his peers)
sequencing tasks.
bad sense of direction
clumsy
Can be very inflexible regarding routines (needs to be warned if we change our plans or things are going to be different to normal - eg massive upset if I forget to have anything in for dessert as we normally have something to offer)
Has a very literal understanding of langauge
He did not jump until he was 4.5.
Was very sensitive to noise until fairly recently.
Should I see my GP? Or, am I being paranoid mum?
