Welcome to the group! Currently my ds has been dx which is a neurological disorder called dyspraxia. But when I have done research on it I found out that many men with dyspraxia often have klinefeters. How did you get your ds dx? What were his symptoms? And welcome again to the group!

Thank you for your response. From your post this sounds very similar to my ds. He also has low-tone. Is there any treatment that is now open to your son now that you have this dx? Is the school more open to working with him?
