My daughter has CP and is Autistic, my sitting room when she was HER child's age was full of Physio aids, Balls, big foam triangles, squares, tubes that we would use to stretch out her muscles and do the exercises that the Physio would give us, also the OT would be visiting the house regularly. I have never seen anything like that at Pip mansion or the old house. She had to wear Piedro boots and splints for years, that looked like mini Dr Martens, and even had the botox injections in her legs. No point getting them if you dont put the work in after. Even a woman who has botox knows you have some things you can and cannot do to give you the desired effect. We would have pictures around the house to help her process. We would have a board with the same pictures and we would make up a social story, for what we were doing, to help her process and also identify what she was doing. If she didnt like it she would remove the picture that she didnt like, we could then work on that part. I have videos of her complete meltdowns and believe me they are soul destroying seeing her in distress but we needed them for the professionals to put plans in place. I would NEVER show them to others, especially not complete strangers on the internet. Everything she says about his CP, they way she wont put him in his splints, how she has an Autistic Son - NO Beefy - you have a SON! BTW my daughter is now a young woman who has her issues which she will always have, SO BEEFY, if you gave your son the correct help, gave him some actual attention, you dont know how he will progress, he may become a completely independant young man, then again that does not fit into your woe is me narrative as a SEN mum. Apologies for the verbal diahorrea this morning but she has really irked me this weekend! with her triggers, her fake pics, her bizzy SEN mum, but away again on her jolly's. Again I apologise but I really needed to vent!
(if you know my story you’ll know I have a cheek to say ‘hEaLtHy’ 
)
. You really have to put in the hard work those early days. I'm fortunate my son only has a very slight gait when tired going up and down inclines declines is a bit of a difficulty but we getting there. Sounds like you are an excellent mummy to your daughter xx
My heart fing bleeds for you, you poor thing
