JUST A FEW MORE QUESTIONS

Thank you for your responses to my inquiry regarding cortical dysplasia.  If you could, please answer a few more questions:
1)  Can the problems that my son is having (delayed speech, staring spells, migraines, problems with fine motor skills, very uncoordinated, immature for his age) be directly related to the cortical dysplasia or would there be something else such as seizures that would have to cause these problems?
2)  From you experience, are these problems going to get worse or will they improve over time?
3)  If my son is not having seizures and all of these problems stem from the cortical dysplasia, what can be done to help him?
4)  What other problems could cortical dysplasia lead to?
5)  Are complex partial seizures hard to diagnose?
