Answer:CP is a Physical Disability Caused by damage to the brainCerebral palsy (CP) is an umbrella term encompassing a group of non-progressive, non-contagious motor conditions that cause physical disability in human development, chiefly in the various areas of body movement.

Cerebral refers to the cerebrum, which is the affected area of the brain and palsy refers to disorder of movement.

Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the motor control centers of the developing brain and can occur during pregnancy, during childbirth or after birth up to about age three. Resulting limits in movement and posture cause activity limitation and are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, depth perception and other sight-based perceptual problems, communication ability, and sometimes even cognition. sometimes a form of CP may be accompanied by epilepsy. CP, no matter what the type, is often accompanied by secondary musculoskeletal problems that arise as a result of the underlying etiology..

Is autism in children a physical defect of the brain or a psychological disorder of the mind?

More and more research is finding that autism has a brain chemistry component and is not due to parenting styles, upbringing or psychology. Autism is seen as a disorder that falls upon a spectrum and is a constellation of symptoms rather than having a single identifier. Children who appear to be developing normally seem to exhibit signs of autism by the second or third year of life.
