I might be wrong for saying this, but however I know cases where somebody
has Cerebral Palsy and still has other compulsive disorders, which is more
common today than just having Cerebral Palsy like the majority of us have.
Again, I might be thinking of something different.

Thanks,
Anthony

  Hi Laura,

  Don't apologize for your English!  It's excellent, and better than that of
  most native speakers.  The behavior you describe doesn't seem like
anything
  I've ever heard of with CP.  You might want to push to have her
  re-evaluated... To me, it sounds more like autism or some kind of
obsessive
  compulsive disorder.  Of course, I'm not a doctor, or even a college
  graduate, so take my opinion for what it's worth.

Anyone
  or everyone could help. This little girl is trapped in a sort of
compulsive
  action. She points out both her index fingers in each hand, wets them
  alternatively in her mouth and touches whatever attracts her attention and
  in in her range of reach. She is sort of trapped in this attitude. One
  morning last week I stood her in front of a small piano, she kepped poking
  at the keys for more than one hour. Although she was exhausted and crying
  she coul not stop doing this. If anyone can help me with some ideas, I
would
  be very greatful -and so will Mirloue :-)</P>
