Hi @Headon75 and a very warm welcome to the community! I think the diagnosis of CP can vary significantly and it is possible to be diagnosed with it later (especially if it is mild). I was diagnosed at the age of 7 which way be considered later in comparison to others, however adults have been known to receive the diagnosis.

I'm tagging @Richard_Scope who is our cerebral palsy specialist

Hi @Headon75
Good to meet you. The standard age for diagnosis is from around 18 months to 3 years. However, as @Chloe_Scope
has mentioned it is dependant on the severity of the impairment, also if there is a secondary condition that presents similarly. I have spoken to people that have received a diagnosis in their late 50s.

Component react.suggestedcontent had an error.

The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
