My daughter has a Global Developmental Delay. Shes 21 months old and maybe at the stage of a one year old -her language is probably further behind than that. She is making progress still, but we have had strange MRI and blood test results. The doctors are now checking with a series of tests whether she has a peroxisomal disorder. We are waiting for results.
In the meantime I am getting more and more convinced that this is it. It would fit with how she presents - shes late, but shows no disordered behaviour. Although she would have a mild form these disorders are fatal.
Can anyone give me hope that it could be something else? Did you have a child that had developmental delays across the board that just caught up. Please only post if its somewhere in the same ballpark as my girl. So a child who at almost 2 was very behind.
