Current Question:
	wrong diagnoses
my son was diagnosed with sma type II at the age of 19 months. But after talking to a few people about the strength he has and the mobility he's still got i'm woundering if it could be type III. My son walked at 10 months old holding on, i had no concerns about his mobility as he could climb the stairs and get about aswell as anyother healthy 10 month old. when he got around 12 months old i noticed that he'd given up walking altogether and just crawled every where, he was still a good climber, still getting up the stairs and i still didn't have any concerns about him!! i just thought he was lazy and couldn't be bothered!! but when it came to him being 18 months i took him to the doctors to get reasurance that everything was ok. after 4 weeks we got the diagnoses that it was sma. The doctor at the hospital told me it was type II but i really don't believe that he has had much contact with sma and could be wrong. please could anybody help me that has type III so i could compare my son to themselves. or anyone who has been diagnosed with type II and walked. my son is now 21 months he can crawl, stand holding on and get up the stairs (although slowly.) Is there anybody that can do simular to my son, thankyou for reading my question.
