Thanks for your question on HCM. By your history I can make out that he is having motor milestone delay. Both gross and fine motor delay. It is most commonly seen in cerebral palsy (CP). CP has many causes like preterm birth, meconium aspiration, low birth weight, neonatal jaundice etc. Sometimes it is idiopathic in nature. The treatment lies mostly on supportive treatment like physiotherapy and nutritional support. So consult pediatric neurologist for this and discuss these things.
