Hi my 14 yrs DS already has ASD and Dyspraxia so life is a challenge for him and us as a family. Last weekend I caught sight of his back and it is curved, one rib side visable the other isn't and one shoulder higher than the other.

Firstly I am kicking myself for not noticing this before but he is not sporty and moves awkwardly due to the Dyspraxia plus has hit puberty so baths on his own etc.

Secondly I have been to the GP Monday and we have an appointment with the consultant for....JULY!! I am thinking we should go for a private consultation as we want to get treatment started pdq plus he has his GCSEs next year and I don't want him missing school if he has to have an operation so could coincide that with summer holidays. Help I'm feeling a combination of angry, sad and nervous for the future.
