A: Athetoid Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy is the second most common form of Cerebral Palsy, behind Spastic Cerebral Palsy. If your child has Athetoid Cerebral Palsy, they will have normal intelligence, but their body will be totally affected by muscle problems. Their muscle tone may be weak or tight, and they may have difficulty walking, sitting, or speaking clearly. They may also have trouble controlling their facial muscles and drooling may be a problem.
