I was looking for information when I saw this message. My son is almost three years old now. When he does something with one hand, the other hand will imitate the motion. He also has a speech delay. I didn't know if the two could be linked neurologically or if anyone has seen similar problems?

I am 33 years old and my hands have done the same thing since I was born. I dont know what it is, I have been told that both halves of my brain are too close together!? I don't believe that I have any learning disorders or any other problem from this. I can type 60 wpm (practice) I can do everything like everyone else.

I would love to hear more about this condition (if that is what you would call it), it would be nice to at least put a name to it. I can tell you it is refreshing to see that I am not the only one going through this.

Don't worry about your children and this problem, it's so minor they are fine, I hope this helps ease your mind a little.

Hi There,

I am 44 years of age, and I also have had this disorder since I was born, no one seems to have a name for this or any reasons why. I have not had any learning difficulties and apart from my hands copying each other there is nothing else wrong with me. I function normally. I would howere like to put a name to this.... but alas after 44 years I don't think one will be found. I guess on the plus side this is minor so the medical world don't want to investigate.

I am pleased that I am not the only person that has this condition. It is peace of mind.

If anyone else has any answers I'd love to hear about it.

hi,
My name is Brianna and I'm 13. I have this problem too since i was born. It runs in my family i guess. I have no clue what it is is and neither do my doctors! its kind of refreshing to know other people in the world are going through the same thing as me!
