Hi everyone. My son was diagnosed with AT two years ago. He is 13 now. He is still able to walk but is becoming more unstable. We take him for physical and occupational therapy. I have never come across anyone having AT, so I am hoping to learn more about it.

Thank you Beryl. Will definitely look into it:)
My wife has sca 7. My only advice would be to find a good neurologist who specializes in ataxia or minimally, is treating Sca currently. Avoid general neurology or someone whose practice focuses in ms. Don’t wait. Time matters. And stay positive. A positive attitude may not cure your son but a negative attitude will surely make things more difficult. Positive people find open doors, negative people find open doors too, but they are often unable to turn the knob…
Thankyou. Agree on being positive. My son is very positive, despite his condition, and I’ve learnt a lot from him.
