I'm here, too, and I agree with Mag and Kendall. I don't suffer with CP; CP is a condition I've lived with all my life and I'm comfortable with it. I have no pain except when I fall in my Bounder powerchair going 12 mph. (lol)

>I'm here, and I agree with Kendall. While I don't suffer from CP, I do have to contend with the long term effects of my body moving in ways that nature did not intend. Your use of the word suffering, was off-putting, and that is why I did not respond. When people used to say "special child" I would feel like gagging. In the States, that term often refers to a child with mental retardation, or I guess the R word has fallen out of favor too, because it has such negative connotaions. So, we now say Cognitive Disabilities. Also, we use; Children with disabilities, people with disabilities. rather than "CP Child".......
