Does Anyone Have A Child With Parkinsonism?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I have a 24 year old that has had parkinsonism his whole life. It is progressive and he now use a walker. He is also developmentally disabled as well. Just wondering if there is anyone else out there like him?

Was he this way from birth? Mine son has had problems since birth but only when he was much older determined it was parkinsonism and also mild to moderate mental retardation.

I have not heard of someone so young having Parkinsons. Perhaps you could contact the Davis Phinney Foundation in Denver, CO or the Michael J. Fox organization in CA. They might have some information that could help you. Otherwise, I might try contacting the National Parkinson's organization in New York first and see if they have any information that can help you.
