very true vamps-the two are seperate issues, though such so called " learning difficulties" as aspergers, ADHD etc are associated with cerebal palsy in as much that their presence in some cp cases may indicate a link. To my knowledge there is no such link put forward around genetic DYT1 dystonia.

Stop, we need to talk, but not now as I need to go to bed...
aspergers is a learning disability, not a difficulty.ADHD is a seperate diagnosis and absolutely no link to Cerebral Palsey. When you say cp do you mean Cerebral Palsy or Child Protection?
PM me with your phone number or ring me on 01642 878141 for a chat, in working hours, tis a secure number..... 
Not in my experience. My lad is very good at humanities, excellent in english and outstanding at maths and IT.
He has communication and understanding difficulties.
Please remember that 'aspergers' is covered by a vast umbrella and is sometimes diagnosed in the abscence of 'anything else'.
Absolutely, Asbergers is the high end of the ASD spectrum, which you are aware of

my work is primarily at the low end of the spectrum. Communication and understanding difficulties would generally meet the criteria for statutory support services where I work, but as you say, a huge umbrella and every one is different, it's a minefield....we should have a chat sometime, in non forum mode..
