Ageing and cerebral palsy

DeeAb

Hello I’ve just joined this community and I’m hoping to discuss ageing and Cerebral Palsy. As an adult I feel support and information for people with Cerebral Palsy as they get older is lacking. I’ve noticed a lot of changes such as more memory loss, increased pain, being unable to do tasks as well as I’ve got older. Anyone have information, tips for ageing with Cerebral palsy? Thank you

Could someone please confirm that it is not possible to develop CP later in life as an adult?
