Hi, I was just wondering if anyone on here has got a child with ASD/adhd/dyspraxia/spd etc who does the gower manoeuvre when they are getting up from sitting or lying on the floor?
DS1 (age 4) does this and im petrified that it means he's got duchennes muscular dystrophy. He has got complex undiagnosed additional needs (scored in moderate autism range on ADOS, has full time 1-1 at preschool) and he has difficulties with gross motor skills and has some hypermobility too.
I'm going to ask his paediatrician if the issue can be investigated but in the meantime, I was hoping for some reassurance that the gower's manoeuvre was a relatively common thing with ASD type conditions and that lots of people's DC do it
