DS 2 is 9. He's hypermobile, which was diagnosed when he was late to walk. Finds writing tiring and difficult. He's very quick to understand things like board games, numbers etc but he struggles to concentrate at school so doesn't ever perform very well. At other times he is so engrossed in something it's like he's on another planet. I have to say everything to him many, many times as he claims he doesn't hear me. He's not hyperactive, but he can get very, very giddy and silly. He bruises very easily and is quite clumsy, but oddly doesn't seem to feel pain very often. For example I will notice a huge bruise on him and ask how it happened and he will genuinely have no recollection. It took him 2 whole years to master riding a bike, and during that time he would fall off regularly, yet get straight back on the bike. And he still has toilet accidents of both kinds. I had been putting that down to his attention issues, but he insists he can't always feel when he needs the loo and is genuinely surprised when a wee or poo pops out. He's a sweet-natured and easy-going little chap with plenty of friends, although to me he seems quite immature compared to his older brother at the same age. Sometimes I think this all just a part of his personality and attention issues, but at other times it really feels like something in his brain misfires and he doesn't know that he's hurt himself, or needs a wee, or that someone has been trying to get his attention. Does this ring any bells for anyone?
