Physical developmental delay

Post Reply New Topic

Has anybody else been born with a physical developmental delay as well as AS?

I was born with hip dysplasia. Basically my left hip wasn't fully formed when I was born and I had to lie in a sort of lead nappy for 6 month. Sometimes I wonder whether that may have contributed to a mental delay as I was restricted in movement when I should have been exploring if that makes sense.

Not that I know of but I do suffer from some physical clummsiness.

I have moderately severe dyspraxia (unco-ordinated body movements) related to cerebellar problems NOS. I guess the cerebellum did not mature or develop properly in my case. I am glad my three children were not born this way. Had it been my cerebral cortex, I would have been the "R" word.

am have a CP like condition in left leg [it's CP like and not diagnosed,because am gave up being assessed after finding physio too much],it makes am walk all over the place,and the leg has its jerky moments.it can be so stiff that have to walk one step at a time if going up stairs,but am dont consider it disabling.

I had trouble with learning to walk, I had a movement disorder that's probably closely related to autism (and that became much worse throughout puberty), and I have hypermobile joints that caused me problems probably both in learning to walk and in handwriting and some other skills, which I eventually overcompensated for, for a time. I also had a delay in learning to nurse in infancy (my mother says she had to teach me somehow). Also high-arched palate and some jaw "deformities" for lack of a better term. And a few chronic health problems starting very early (some of them run in my family). Some of these are obviously more related to autism than others.

Yea im still physically growing at the age of 23 lol, i still have problems walking dont know why, since i didnt start walking until i was 2, a lot of physical delays are apart of me, even my mouth is 6 years behind, its soo weird...
