A member asked:

Just found out i have ataxic cerebral palsy 45 years after it was diagnosed. now aged 49 should i be formally assessed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

? assessed ?: Ataxic and or other forms of CP are by definition a reflection of an injury to developing nerves anywhere from pregnancy through the 3rd birthday.Sometimes the cause is found, but in more than 50% it is unknown and unknowable. Although its effect can be increasingly disabling, the injury does not change.If you want someone to exclude other diagnoses during a new evaluation, go ahead.
