People with the<unk>  type of CP typically have muscles that are "tight" or stiff due to high muscle tone. Symptoms of<unk>  vary as the disability can affect individuals differently. However, they typically appear in infancy and early childhood and most children are diagnosed in the first two years of life. The main indicator of<unk>  is a delay in reaching motor milestones. The following are some common early signs, though the presence of a listed symptom does not definitively mean that a child has<unk>  CP: Prior to 6 months * Legs crossing when a child is picked up, also called scissoring * Stiffness * Head "lagging" when the child is picked up 6–10 months * Fisting one hand * Difficulty rolling * Difficulty bringing hands together Older than 12 months of age * Difficulty crawling * Difficulty standing even with support * Walking with an unsteady, uneven, or stiff gait<unk>  CP is distinguished from other forms of cerebral<unk>  by its prominent symptom of<unk> ity or stiff, tight movements and gait patterns such as the scissor gait. However,<unk> ity as a symptom is also seen in other conditions such as stroke and multiple sclerosis. Thus, the presence of<unk> ity alone does not warrant a conclusive diagnosis of<unk> . Changes in<unk> ity and corresponding postures may also occur with other brain activity, such as excitement, fear or anxiety, or even pain, which increase muscle tension. A person with<unk>  CP will commonly show, in addition to higher muscle tone, persistent primitive reflexes, greater stretch reflexes, plantar reflex, and ankle clonus. A third of people with cerebral<unk>  have seizures - this is most common in<unk>  CP. Audiovisual, cognitive compromise and behavioral disorders can occur.
