Hi there - I have twin DS that are 5 years old and currently in reception. One of my DS has worried me for a while now. But it is a slight niggling feeling that he is not completely wired the right way. The teacher has asked that he be evaluated by an OT. He is very loving and affectionate to me and my DH. He makes eye contact and plays with his twin DS. However he doesn't socially interact that well with other kids in class. He has diction issues and is already having speech therapy. He is left handed and has an unnatural pencil grip. He is also quite immature and quite sensitive. He is probably 2 years ahead in his reading and maths ability. He seems to have a bit of an odd perception of time i.e. not a proper recognition of last week versus yesterday. His teacher also says he sometimes struggles to follow instructions. Is this likely to be dyspraxia or something else ?
