What Causes Foot Numbness In Child?

3year olds feet ( most often just his left foot) falls asleep often. Doesn t seem painful but just annoying to him. Happening for about 5 months. Last night he said both of his feet weren t working right. He was standing at the time. Also he complained about left eye and mouth not working once. His eye was noticeably slanted down. He also has sensory processing disorder....mild and highly functioning and gifted. Tested at three and was gifted off the chart. What about feet?..
