CP & ASPERGERS SYNDROME - DOESN'T STOP LOGAN

Logan Garth P...... doing what all little boy's do AND living with Cerebral Palsy and Aspegers Syndrome (High Functioning Autism)..
He will try just about anything....Nothing stops him, from trying to be the best that he can be! Karate, Soccer, Swimming & Rock Climbing as well as T-Ball & Gymnastics with the Special Olympic's.
Logan also has Asthma so we have to be vigilant in that regard too.
He lives in Brampton Ontario with his parents Clint and Wanda. To his family, 'LOGIE' is our own little Hero!!

Watch for Logan in a scene in the Movie "A History of Violence" - at the mall - he is walking with a man (meant to be his grand-dad) in the background while Ed Harris sits on a bench waiting for the Mom and little girl..

i have aspergers syndrome im living with a relitive with CP and i know how much of a struggle they have i support all those familys out there who have kids with this disability it cant be cured but there are treatments for it and i wish him luck. This comment may sound like a may be a parent but be honest im still a kid and i still go through struggles. At 15 years old i understand all of these things. I wish you luck on the road ahead. Bless these children.

Thank you dear, that is so nice of you. we are having to watch his spine as one side isn't growing as fast as the other, so keep an eye out for symptoms of Scoliosis. He'll probably need his right shoe sole built up when he's older, we don't know yet. He's only going on 11.

Tell me do you and/or your cousin get bullied at school?

Logan does It is a long hard road, and no-one need bullying at the best of times, disabilities are not fun

I wish you and your cousin all the best wishes.

Just wanted to ask, how severe is his Cerebral Palsy?

[valrose11]

@laila123455

It's his right side. He wears a brace most times and uses a keyboard at school as writing tires his arm. We are also 'worried' about Scoliosis, since the right side is growing at a slower rate etc...

Logan is a beautiful little boy, his smile and drive reminds me of my son!!!!!!!!!!!

[valrose11]

Thank you, he is in all aspects a gentle, happy, little boy.

He has a little band of friends who are quite wonderful with him. He is in the Ontario Special Olympics program and has many friends there with a variety of disabilities. They love & support each other very much.

I will let his parents know what you said.

Thanks Kate,

I am sure your parents are very proud of you and I think they are pretty smart to allow you to be you. Yes we believe Logan can achieve much more than other's (including his present teacher) give him credit for.

Logan (8yrs old) is competing at the Special Olympics -Marshall Gym, next month in Sudbury, to try to qualify for the provincials.

He is very brave & kind of reminds me of "the Hare & the Tortoise", who quietly gets things done.

Thanks again, and take care too. Val

Actually if you check the video I did called Liam's own video, you'll see that he has problems too.

He was born with meningitis and survived.

He has some brain damage (memory & a learning disability mostly)but he is also ADHD and is on medication for that. all 3 children have Asthma. these children are lucky, they are wanted and are loved.

You are more than welcome to share the video.

We love Logan and are so proud of him, he tries so hard to fit in.

Being born in December he is usually the smallest in his class, and is picked on a little and some of the children call him weak.

His heart is so big.

He loves babies and animals. He loves snakes, spiders & Dinasours......
