Ok so my Ds 8 (AS) has always been quite clumsy. When we are out walking he always tends to hold my hand and we chat as we go, the majority of the time he will trip/stumble (which is the norm really) and I tend to catch him due to holding hands..........WELL yesterday we were walking along (holding hands) and I just happened to be looking down towards his feet as we were talking and witnessed him do a kind of swift 'stoop' as though both his knees had just give way on him, because I was still holding his hand he immediately stood tall again as though nothing had happened and just carried on talking/walking. When I asked him what had just happened to his legs he commented, very matter-of-factly, that his knees just stop working and it happens all the time . I have never noticed this happen before! He has complained occasionally about his legs/knees hurting but tbh we have always put it down to the fact he is always on the move (he is a jumper and flapper) and also good old growing pains. Does anyone else's Dc do this? We have an appointment with a paediatric doctor soon due to possible ?epilepsy, should I mention this? He has had some nasty bumps to the head over the years because of his falls. He just never seems to get his hands out quick enough to break his fall, now I am left wondering if this is why.
