I think one of these days he will be able to. Maybe just give him more chance and exploration as to how he can sit himself up, they need to discover for themselves and encourage and clap and praise him when he does it so that there is positive reinforcement for the correct actions. He will need this skill as it trains the strength of his core muscles which is important for him to hold himself upright

Does he crawl? You mean when he is lying on tummy he can't sit up? Well maybe he just missed this and proceeded to walking. If the PD is not concerned I think it is fine. In fact I have heard of babies who did not crawl and went straight to walking. My PD said one of his kids is like this. So I guess for your kid to miss this step I think it is fine coz he is already walking.

If he is walking well i would not be worried too. But is he able to sit down from walking? Some kids will skip a certain steps and milestones. If he is walking, means his spine is strong enough already.

Meaning whilst lying down he is unable to get up from lying to sitting position? I would not worry since he is able to walk with assistance.

yes...

As I mentioned I feel if he is able to walk with assistance it's okay.
