Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are more common in children with cerebral palsy (CP) than in the general population, but may still be underdiagnosed. This study aimed to estimate screen-positive ASD and ADHD in a population-based group of 264 school-aged children with CP born 1999–2006 from the CP register of western Sweden. Validated parent-completed questionnaires were used at a median age of 12 years 11 months (range 8–17 years). Three different scales were used to detect signs of ASD and ADHD, respectively. Response rate was 88% (232/264). In 19 children, all in the most disabled group, the screening procedure was not feasible due to too few questionnaire items completed, leaving 213 for analyses. One third (74/213) of the children screened positive for ASD and half of the children (106/213) for ADHD, which was about twice as often as ASD/ADHD diagnoses had been clinically identified. Children with intellectual disability, epilepsy and/or impaired speech ability more often screened positive for ASD as well as ADHD. Severe motor impairment was more frequently associated with screen-positive ASD, but not ADHD. Neither sex nor CP type was associated with screen-positive ASD/ADHD. In conclusion, school-aged children with CP very often screened positive for ASD and/or ADHD. The prevalence of ASD and ADHD is most likely underestimated in children with CP. These screening findings require further investigations.
