Yes: Over your lifetime you can develop a second disorder.Cp is defined by the static or stable nature of the brain injury, but that static injury can have result in more difficulty as you age due to the decreased mobility and lack of exercise needed to maintain unaffected activities. A second illness like ms or als, based on poorly understood factors can affect anyone.

Unfortunately, yes: Would certainly propose that if you have developed new problems or worsening of older issues, that this be thoroughly investigated, and diagnosed. There is no unusual susceptibility to another neurological disorder due to your CP, but no protection either.
