  • I HAVE CP TOO, BUT GOD DIDN'T DO IT TO YOU, IT WAS EITHER AN ACCIDENT, OR MEDICAL MALPRACTICE.

  • Hey, my name is Ash, I am 22 years old. I was born 3 months too early with a minor infarct in one of the pyramidal arteries, which cause me to develop a mild form of spastic cerebral palsy (diplegia). As a child I had the typical scissor gait of spastic diplegia, but I really didn't care too much. I went to physios and had a lot of consultations with doctors, but all in all I was just a normal boy with very normal habits and very normal friends.

  • my girlfriend has CP, from medical malpractice. She's an olympic athlete and represented the USA for the olympic games in Greece. I think she's absolutely beautiful, and truly amazing.

  • i have cp -_-

  • @jessebelle27 It's not always due to medical malpractice or an accident. In my case, I simply came out facing the wrong way and I believe I was wrapped in the imbilocal cord as well.

  • My sister has cerebral palsy. She also has OCD, Asperger's syndrome, and anger issues.

    Living with someone that has cerebral palsy can be difficult, but it is very rewarding. It has taught me to be patient. My sister is good with children, because she can relate to them. They don't judge her. It's sad to think that people can look at someone and judge them because they don't look the same. My sister is a very beautiful person and I love her. I wish everyone saw her the way I did.

  • @jessebelle27 because god isn't real, he couldn't have done it.
