I just wanted to know if anyone knows what this is.I know what it is because I have it(in a very mild form?)I'm only asking because when I tell people that I have it they usually don't know what it is.

i know what it is, it is caused by a brain abnormality. its a handicap in the arms and/or legs that causes jerkiness.

Yeah, compliments of FOL I do.

and parents say we learn nothing from tv...Geri Jewell is a famous celebrity who has it


"Questions dont hurt, Ignorance does"-Geri

I like that quote about questions and ignorance it is a VERY true statement.I've noticed that a lot of people have a fear of asking questions.Some people with Cerebral Palsy are probably sensitive to questions but I'm not at all.I would LOVE it if people asked me questions.

you said you have a mild form of it. what do you do, do you have to take any medications or go to any kind of therapy or anything like that? just curious.

I used to be in speech therapy, physical therapy and occupational therapy in second grade.I used to take medication but it wasn't for Cerebral Palsy it was for Attention Deficit Disorder.

Thats where I learned it too.;) It taught it well, too.

My brother has it. That's where I learned about it.

i read a book and the main character had it.

I don't have CP, but I have coloboma. No one ever seems to know what it is. It's a rare eye condition that can cause multiple problems.

Yes, I know what it is. A friend of mine's brother has it. I've got a question... Do you to a regular school? I mean, or do you go to a handicapped school? My friends brother cannot go to regular school- he's got a very bad case of it

I have a very mild form of it(it's not very noticeable so people notice and some don't)so yes I do go to regular school.

Good luck on your check up.I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one here that has it. Do you ever get frustrated trying to do things?I know I do.

I have mild cerebral palsy.

I only kno about it from FOL. But I have a question, is it hard to type? Like if u have it...is it hard to type on the comp?

It's hard to do it correctly and with the right fingers.I have trouble keyboarding so I just type.
