ABSTRACT
CASE PRESENTATION This patient had been born at term without complications. There had been no difficulties during the prenatal period or immediately following birth. Stuttering speech was apparent from the time he began using words at 1 year. He did not walk unassisted until 2 years, and his gait was always slightly clumsy. Cognitive impairment was noticed early in childhood, and he was initially thought to have a mild form of cerebral palsy. Despite his impairments, he functioned well and was able to live independently as an adult, supporting himself by selling lottery tickets.
