I just became a registered nurse, and my ten-year-old son is infant-like, has frequent meltdowns, and cannot stand without support. He is missing a piece of DNA (chromosome 9q22.2) but we are unsure if it made him disabled. He has a diagnosis of severely multiply impaired, paucity of white brain matter, partial agenesis of the corpus callosum, microcephaly, deformities of the ankle and foot, and Autism.

Trying to have Andy on his feet more
Andy really doesn't care for the standing equipment, but likes to be upright. At home, and at school, Andy seems to prefer being on his feet. At school, he likes to stand at the tables. He likes being up and about with the other kids. He also gets bored of being down on his belly. I was staying very close to him yesterday, while he stood against the couch. He was watching Dora the Explorer. He sat at times when his legs got tired. He did this for about ten minutes. I also walk him around the house holding under his arms.
