Cerebral Palsy refers to a group of disorders in which a child in the mother's womb, or during birth, or soon after birth gets permanent brain damage in one or more localized patches. Sometimes, there are damages as a result of birth defects due to genetic faults. If the damaged areas conform to the intellectual areas, then the child is born with below normal intellect. The consequent stiffness is called Spasticity, hence such persons were also called Spastics , in short. Similarly, many MRs also have a variable degree of Spasticity in one or more areas of the body, though it usually does not prevent them from carrying out their daily activities.
Autism is a special subset of mental derangement.
