Hmm....my DS has hypotonia and hypermobile joints. In particular, his fingers bend back 90 degrees and his elbows and knees do really weird things. They were very worried about him when he was a baby as he was quite delayed in large motor skills, and he was in PT for a while, but caught up nicely by age 1 and was discharged. He saw a neurologist who found nothing; he actually even had a head CT and was tested for muscular dystrophy. I still wonder if we should be following him more aggressively. HIs writing seems okay, but is definitely a weaker skill compared to his others. He fatigues more quickly than other children his age but is quite coordinated and athletic. I wonder if any of you think I should be more assertive? Hypotonia and hypermobile joints do seem to run in the family.
