Hi, how old were you when your ataxia started? I am a mum of a daughter with spino cerebellar ataxi. She is 13 but we noticed the problems when she was just 11 months. She didn't start to walk until she was 23 months and was always very wobbly and fell lots and that never improved.
I haven't been in touch with anyone who had this condition from so young. If you don't mind, would you tell me a little about yourself.
i am trying to support her as best I can but she gets so upset bless her. She is also Autistc.
I look forward to hearing from you if you are happy to.
April
