Developmental ped. results....tremors?

Post Reply New Topic

Long story short my 8 year old went to see a developmental ped (per center for child development). Just to check him out and see if his meds needed to be changed.

Everything is fine but under the "nuerological" results the doc noted this:

"reflexes mildly increased" & "mild tremor upon reaching". I know that it's nothing serious his reflexes are mildly increased and he has a mild tremor when he reaches but has anyone else heard of this being associated with Asperger's or should I just wait and see if anything changes?

I don't want to seem like the over worried parent....he also suggested that he continue playing sports. (He does Taekwondo several times a week)


Any ideas?

HMM. did you try googling it to see if there is an association with aspergers? was your son formally diagnosed?

Yes, Vanderbilt dx'd Asperger's and that's why they had him see the developmental ped. to verify ADHD as a co-existing condition.


Thanks.....I found something.

i would ask his doctor what that means..
