Guest guest Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I have a weird question but didn't really know where else to go with this...my 13 1/2 yr old son (with aspergers & sensory integration issues)hasn't started puberty. His pediatrician is becoming worried and wants us to have a wrist bone scan to find out his Chronological age versus his real age (whatever that means!?) We don't have insurance so we've decided to wait and see what happens in six months or so. Is this something anyone else is dealing with? My son is very immature, I'd guess three years behind immaturity wise but now to have this bomb dropped is scaring me. His pediatrician, who we've been seeing since his birth asked me if he was " playing with himself " yet and when I told her No, not to my knowledge, she was flabbergasted. That worried me so I asked my husband when he started " you know what-ing " and the man who I thought I could NEVER embarres got red in the face and said " I don't remember! " Of course I'm running through my head " what if I did something to surpress his puberty " like we've been using melatonin off and on since age 9, what if I messes up his pituatary gland or something. This is just one more thing to add to my list of How Do I Fix This? Thank for letting me vent, W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
