As per the article, if Mr. Sorenson had both autism and cerebral palsy, that is easily confirmed if his family wants to do so. Although if he had both, my index of concern for birth injuries related to a traumatic delivery go up a lot. I have handled many such malpractice cases. Depending on the type and extent of any neurological deficit, he could very well have an intellectual disability and I wonder if he was considered legally competent. Interesting, but more facts are needed to draw any conclusions.
