[QUOTE="therese005us, post: 303889, member: 7416"] I just wondered if anyone has any ideas - observations - she talks in a dyslexic fashion "What I can do"; "Now I may leave?" I can't thnk of anymore! yet there are heaps.... She talks like she has alzheimers - will start a sentence "Aunty Trish, .... followed by a 'mid sentence' that i'm supposed to follow (she could be remembering something that's happened through the day, and start telling me mid paragraph or chapter of the story) then stop, and she's forgotten or unable to continue... Again, saying it in a back to front dyslexic fashion... her last three fingers on each hand were (from birth) curled and stiff, she can't straighten them. doctors did recommend an operation, mom refused. They made her wear a splint, that didn't last long either. her last two toes on each foot are swayed/curled in also. She has a wobbly gait, runs awkwardly, falls over often because she loses her balance (in a way) Fine motor skills are poor, can't hold pencil correctly, Messy eater, doesn't hold utensils correctly, or easily, finds it awkward to get spoon to mouth? (I'm working on it) and will end up with food all over mouth and either doesn't notice, or doesn't care so will not wipe herself. that's a list I can think of at the moment... Any ideas? This doesn't all really fit with aspergers/autism I suspect mild cerebral palsy when I first saw her at birth.... Mother had been smoking marjuanah, but stopped when she realised she was pregnant; also smoking nicotine, is a drinker of alcohol (don't know if or when she stopped drinking, or how soon into the pregnancy) Thanks [/QUOTE]
