Reuben has a neurological condition called bimanual synkinesis, or mirrored hands. He's had it since birth and when he moves one of his hands, the other one involuntarily moves the same without him realising. This is a recent video of Reuben writing his homework, notice how his left hand moves like the right. He has had lots of physiotherapy to help him with dressing and doing zips and buttons to help him with everyday stuff and we are working on knife and fork skills which is a real challenge!
