7 Year Old Autistic Son Diagnosed with Scoliosis

Hi, I have a 35 degree rotating spinal curvature and I always look at people’s backs. Last year my son was playing in the backyard and I noticed his curve. I must admit, I got panicked and made him an appointment to be diagnosed. 6 months have passed and I’ve been in deep research but it’s progressing. Doctor said no x rays until 10. I found scoliosis care centers in CA and OK and they use a standing MRI. We live in Madison WI, some of the best hospitals in the country but I don’t want to diagnose for surgery. I want to move into finding the root cause and moving into therapy and bracing. Any information is helpful.

Ready to Drop the Towel

16 years in, over a thousand clients and hundreds on repeat. I feel dead inside. Husband don’t want to help with bills, divorce is is beyond reach financially, I’m burned out, mortgage, bills, debt. I recently stayed late for a client (was done at 2, stayed until 4:30, she messaged saying won’t make it until 5:15). My friend texted me asking me what’s up, I replied to my client coming in instead of friend bitching about it. It really sucked and the problem is me- I’m carrying a lot of invisible weight and I have kids, should’ve been home with my family at 2 enjoying my afternoon, instead I crossed my own boundaries. Anyhow, that client cancelled her future appointment. Basically I’m just done. I’m 41, getting old, tired, burned out, not happy. Nothing I can do right now.
