Subject: Re: Dealing with the public if you have CP
Hello,
I can walk but - I tend to have 1 of 2 reactions. either denial that I
have impairments or a pitying 'so that's your problem' attitude.
that said, some people have responded positively when I tell them that
there is something neurologically wrong.
I have CP but I also had issues with a stroke when I was 16, and poor
vision, an odd type headache that did not go away, and poor
coordination, based on that. I am currently recovering from that based
on better visual and motor therapy, which is based on sensory
integration.
however that said, I was diagnosed with ataxia before I had the stroke
and I'm in the odd position of not knowing what my capabilities are,
really. I'm almost 40 and stil figuring that out.
take care,
Mary Katherine
