My son is a lot younger than yours with a different set of struggles (currently he's just preschool age) but he also appears to be completely normal to people who haven't spent a lot of time with him. He especially struggles with sensory processing and fine motor related tasks. We haven't got a firm diagnosis yet but hope to find out more from behavioral testing (neurological testing hasn't been able to give us any good answers yet) so he'll hopefully be able to qualify for disability. I'm also worried about my son's future, especially since a lot of people he might end up working with likely won't understand that just because he might not look like he has a disability doesn't mean he doesn't have one (I see this kind of ignorance all the time). Best of luck to you and your son, I wish I knew good answers to give you about these kind of struggles but this is still fairly new to me.

Yeah, it took years of therapy and testing before we were able to determine what exactly was going on. For some reason have names for his disorders makes things more understandable.
