[quote=Anonymous][quote=jjconcern]It sounds like your DS has a very complicated case.  After reading through all the comments I also wondered if the dyspraxia could be an issue with the drooling and slack jaw, difficulty sitting up straight, speech difficulties, etc.   He actually seems to have some of the symptoms suggestive of very mild cerebral palsy.  Was there any birth trauma?  With time you will know more of the particulars of his diagnosis but it is difficult not knowing now.  Fortunately he is receiving help early on for his developmental problems.  My heart goes out to you and your family.  My prayer is that your family and your son become stronger through this ordeal.  Hugs to you.[/quote]

Dyspraxia is a description of functioning not a diagnosis. It can be caused by many many different things including chromosomal issues. Cerebral palsy is just one of countless possible causes. If it's mild enough that it manifested this way it would not be treated any differently. [/quote]
