Hi all, 
Just looking for some advice. My sons has started randomly falling, crab walking (ie  side stepping,) he tells me he's answered questions when he hasnt and is stammering like crazy. Is this "normal" in your opinion for a growth spurt or am I right to be concerned? We aren't talking little changes. It's all quite dramatic.

    Hello @AnnieMalone thanks for your query. I can appreciate all these changes must feel a little worrying, but I'd advise speaking to your son's GP, or occupational therapist if he has one? 

    Keep us updated with how things go, and let us know if we can help any further.
