Spina bifida occulta, schuermans disease, autism and adhd?

My 11 year old is autistic and at her last appointment she had a general check over and the peadiatrician wanted an xray of her back.

This apparently showed spina bifida and schuermans disease. We have an appointment in march with an orthopedic surgeon but i was just wondering if anyone else had a child with these things together? It seems really unlucky to have autism/ adhd and two separate spine problems that are unrelated.

I was just wondering if anyone had an experience with this!

My ds 22 had an X-ray a little while ago and he was told he had spina bifida occulta. He was told not to worry about it as people can have it without any problems. I hope your dd is ok
