I say "go for it".

You mentioned Dr Jan - she has been my kiddos neurologist since they were 18 months old. She is an amazing doctor who runs the #1 CP center in the United States.

It actually sounds like your fine motor is better than hers. She doesn't do Botox and I've never seen her actually write. She requires help with parts of exams (hamstring stretches, etc) but there are always a group of residents following her around anyway She does walk independently but she often uses a cane.

I echo all the previous posters who love the idea of a doctor who actually understands. I'm sure we can all tell stories of doctors who didn't "get it". I actually had a resident ask once what the "plastic thingees" on Noah's feet were
