Mild diplegia

Hi
My son who his 13 always walked on tiptoes which was passed off as part of his autism however last year his left foot got progressively worse so our pieadtrician referred him to a orthopaedic surgeon who than referred us to a neurologist. We saw the neurologist in January who referred him for an MRI which I found out last week was normal. I've had to chase for answers ringing different hospitals to find out what we should do as my son's foot his getting worse and it's started in the right. It's been hell! Yesterday I received a letter which stated that he has mild diplegia no one told me this as were not due in clinic till April. I didn't even know what it was till I went online I feel like I am going through a range of emotions and have no support or faith in the consultant.
