He was late developing with everything really, late to talk, sit, stand, walk, I think he was about 6+ mnths late for all those milestones. First word wasn't until 2. He couldn't walk without falling over constantly, couldn't sit on a normal chair without falling until he was about 5-6. Still can't walk or do too much exercise now.
Couldn't (still cant) feed himself without making a huge mess. Was still using his fingers until about 4 years. Couldn't draw a picture at 5 when he was assesssed.
He also lacked social skills, took everything literally, hated change and was spaced for hours at a time, had toileting issues and we actually suspected autism.
He was given a multi disciplinary assessment, which lead to SALT and physio referrals. The physio report lead to hypermobility dx and referred him to an occupational therapist who assessed him, which resulted in a dyspraxia dx. Jury is still out on autism, but he has improved and his current dx includes social and communication difficulties.
I thinkt he hypermobility can cause a lot of problems in itself. If she has hypermobility in her fingers/wrists/elbows it might be worth lookign at things like adaptive cutlery and nice chunky pens. Also, things like plasticine or waving ribbons can help build co-ordination and strength. Swimming is one of the best exercises as it doesn't strain the joints so much. I msut admit it is the hips that causes ds1 the most problems at the moment though.
sorry for the essay and I hoppe some of it is useful!
