I AM A PARENT OF A FOURTYFOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WITH CP. SHE HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH SOME PHYSICAL/EMOTIONAL CHANGES IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS THAT THE LOCAL PHYSICIANS CAN NOT OR DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THESE SUDDEN CHANGES. DO YOU HAVE INSIGHT INTO THESE CHAGES? JILL HAS PROFOUND MR; AUSTIM; NON AMBUTORY/NON VERBAL. I READ IN THE RESEARCH THE SHOWS CERTAIN DEGREES OF CP WILL BE INDICATORS OF MAJOR CHANGES IN ADULTS WITH CP, IS THIS TRUE. ANY INFO YOU CAN SHARE WOULD BE GRATEFULLY APPERCIATED.
