Question

My nephew is just over two months old, and his behavior is peculiar, with delayed responses in movement, and it seems his intelligence is not normal. I’m worried he might have cerebral palsy and would like to know the related symptoms.

Answer

One of the typical symptoms of cerebral palsy is that after passive stretching of the skeletal muscles, there is a continuous increase in muscle tone, resulting in slow and asymmetric movement. It may also be accompanied by intellectual disability, strabismus, epilepsy, and other issues.
