Best Answer

Children with Cerebral Palsy have muscle control problems which may affect their speech and movement. Children with Autism have trouble with being able to look someone in the eyes and otherwise relate to the world outside themselves. Autism has nothing to do with muscle control problems. They are totally different conditions. Of course a child can have both conditions, but they are not the same thing.
