I just read through your posts again and I'm sorry for some of the issues you've been through. Lori, that sounds so frustrating. I have had the term "splinter skills" thrown at me too when questioning things, for instance even at age 4 DS was quite adept at video games on the Wii like Mario Kart--it involves a ton of coordination so how can he have developmental coordination disorder? Now I wonder if it's because games like that involve a lot of visual-motor integration skills, which he tests fine with, so maybe he is using his great visual memory to memorize all the courses and sort of compensates for the poor motor skills. I really have no idea. I just know that feeling of thinking "wait, this doesn't seem right and the pieces don't fit together." But everyone just blows it of.
What would be the best doc to check for a connective tissue disorder? Geneticist?
