1 ALS is not contagious.  Although the life expectancy of a person with ALS averages about two to five years from the time of diagnosis, this disease is variable, and many people can live with the disease for five years and more. More than half of all people with ALS live more than three years after diagnosis.
Together, this background suggests that the majority of individuals who are diagnosed with the disease are likely to live with it for at least 20 years (if diagnosed at age 50) and potentially as long as 55 years (if diagnosed at age 20).
