- Are Dyslexia and Apraxia a type of Autism?, and cerebellar issues...

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Would you mind sharing more about the references you made in recent

posts to dyslexia and apraxia as " forms of autism " . Has there been

any research to indicate this relationship? Are there

doctors/neurologists promoting this concept and is it well accepted

by the medical community? I'm very curious about this and would like

to learn more.

Also, have you or other parents on this listserv found that your

children have cerebellar malformations via MRI's or CAT scans? My

daughter is apraxic and has hypoplasia of the cerebellum. I'm curious

to hear if other children with apraxia have been checked for similar

conditions.

Thanks!

Tina
