    Hi @chattymossman
    Welcome to our community and thanks for your post. You are correct in saying that a 2008 study looking at a potential link between Cerebral Palsy and Autism found that 7% of the participants with Cerebral Palsy were on the autistic spectrum, however, the same study has suggested that it is more prevalent in participants with non-spastic Cerebral Palsy.
