Harbinder,
I would recommend that you go to www.google.com and type in "living with
cerebral palsy"
Since I merely live with my sister who lives with cerebral palsy, I can't
vouch for its accuracy as I can't read her mind (though what I wouldn't
give...), but it would give you a better general idea. Then you could ask
specific questions on the listserv.
Treat everyone you meet like an intelligent invididual, no matter what they
look like, and you will always be pleasantly surprised :)
