Can a child have low muscle tone but be hyper?

[macwoozy]

Just received the OT report for my ds(he has HFA). A little surprised with her findings, in that I knew he was clumsy and had poor handwriting etc, but wasn't aware that he had low muscle tone or hyper joints.(or whatever that is!!)

I had a quick google on low muscle tone and it explains about tiredness etc. Ds does get tired and needs a quick rest, but he is also hyper(and would have got ADHD meds had it not been for the family cardiologist).

Does anyone know how a child could be described as having low muscle tone but is hyper?

(Just my curiosity again!!)

Oh yes, my ds1 is just like this! We have basically turned an entire room of the house into a home-based Occupational Therapy room to help. Dh made a climbing/bouldering wall that is really great for improving core muscle tone and I have signed ds1 up for karate classes this week. I am always trying to think of ways to give him "heavy work" i.e. pushing or carrying things in order to help with muscle tone. Heavy work is also very calming to him when he is starting to get over-stimulated.

my ds has hypermoblity and hypertoni he is now waalking t 3 1/2 abet slowly and in his own fasion but were getting there , the hhyypermoblity comes from me i can still do the splits at 30 something

but on the downside i disloaacted jointss fair few times and now put them back in , though when ds has done wetrip up to a and E, sweaar some drs till red notes think i swing him round by the arms
