[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dyspraxia isn't a diagnosis. It's a description of functioning.[/quote] I was told by dev ped its a diagnosis[/quote] In the DSM V - developmental coordination disorder (also known as dyspraxia). It is a diagnosis. My teen has it. We did genetic testing - found nothing. We also did an MRI and there was an area of 'unchanging brain damage of unknown origin' that likely caused the DCD. [/quote] PP- one thing that has eaten me up inside is that DS fell at age 2 and had a mild comcussion. It was the worst day of my life- the scare of it and not knowing if damage was done. He had shown sensory things before the fall and was already slow to talk before the fall, but I always wonder. Dev Ped said that would not cause the global dyspraxia but when hes older we could always do mri to make sure everything looks okay. What does unchanging brain damage mean?[/quote]
