Some children are disgnosed soon after birth. With my DS he was 2 1/2 years before we got the disgnosis. With DD1 she was 13 months. If a child isn't dignosed at birth, it normally around the 1 year mark.

My step son was diagnosed at 8 months, though his mum "knew" there was something wrong way before that.

Now saying that it not cp but leukodystrophy, painting a very glum picture. Just feel so for her and dh I just pray that it is all one big mistake but mri scans were not positive at all.
