I have no clue. Maybe you should look up moya moya disease. Or hire a genetic counselor

Have you ever watched that show mystery diagnosis?

Where is the website of diseases that they have had on their show. Look at all the diseases and see if any are simular

Barth Syndrome (another one to look at)

Zellweger Syndrome


Porencephaly

children with pda,hie,seizures,visual problems n fedding problems help n advice?

We Answered:

I think that the diagnosis of CP is probably correct. He may have other issues as well resulting in his failure to thrive, but all CP is, is an insult to the motor areas of the brain, resulting in a wide variety of symptoms, that can affect just part of the body (the left side, in your son's case) and cause many of the difficulties you describe. Seizures are not uncommon with kids with CP. Neither is difficulty swallowing or feeding. Eye issues are common, too, as are growth issues.

Your child will need lots and lots of therapy and stimulation in order to make his way in the world. He will also need a lot of love. It can't be easy for you, but with lots and lots of attention, your son can do much more than the "experts" ever predict for him. I hope you are getting all of the help from the doctors and support personnel that you can, and you might also want to keep a video camera handy to record the baby when he has a seizure--those DO need medication, and you need to stay on the doctors until you get satisfaction in that area.

Best wishes. You are in a challenging situation, it will not be easy, but if you persist you can do what is needed for your child. You might also want to join a support group for parents of children with CP, there are some online and you can get lots of advice from those who have been there.

Does he have an adult speech / language disorder?

We Answered:

We all use the English language in a different way
We all use English differently.
Which do you prefer?
Both get the meaning across.
We do not all use perfect grammar and without trying to be rude Americans are the worst offenders.
It was never Americas first language nor were the vast majority of people who now live in America descended from the original inhabitants.
I do not think your friend has any problem with his use of language.
Or your friend has no problem speaking English
Or Your friend would appear to use the language in a different way from you, that does not make it wrong.
Y'all come back soon?
That took me a long time to work out that y'all meant you all.
Go to which ever area it is that uses that type of language, criticise it and see what happens.
