[quote=Anonymous]My son has apraxia, now resolved.

You never really are cured — a person with it develops enough work around that the disorder is less visible. We did genetic testing - nothing. No ASD. A neurologist ordered an MRI and found an area of static brain damage which was the root ‘cause.’

In addition to apraxia of speech my son lagged in social skills (all that time he was learning speech sounds his peers were learning to interact with each other and developing language, both verbal and nonverbal). To this day my son is slower to respond and rapid back and forth is not his strong suit.

He also had motor planning issues that affects his gross and fine motor skills. Not an athlete but functional now - and prefers and uses a keyboard for all written work.

He also has ADHD inattentive type.

These other issues all emerged over time. Neuropsych testing every few years and starting at age 6 was key. Kids with CAS are also at high risk for reading challenges — so keep an eye out for it. My son didn’t have that, thankfully. [/quote]
