Only on Friday night did dh noticed bruises on DS legs when getting him ready for bed. I only noticed yesterday. I hadn’t seen before. And I can’t pinpoint exactly when he could of done them.
he is 5 and has asd. He did fall twice during the week down at the side of both couches and was at OT and landed on the floor there too when jumping off a beanbag.
they are on both outer thighs and quite big. I feel so worried looking at them that they could indicate something medical.
would you wait it out a week or so and see if they settle down and no more appear.
is there a chance with large bruising like that it is just from been clumsy, really beginning to fear it’s something medical.

If he’s falling then surely it is likely the bruises are from that?
if he’s pale, lethargic and you have other concerns then talk to a GP but otherwise young kids are more active and physical so likely to get bumps etc
