Bobby,
You are so right about kids who are around "different" folks. They
really do stop worrying about it or even stop noticing altogether. I
find that after the first day or two, the kids at school could care less
about me having CP. They are always helpful, but not because of the
cp. In fact, more often than not, if I can't do something, they make a
comment "Oh yeah, I forgot..."
As for when kids start noticing...I've noticed that by age 2-3 they
start looking, pointing, asking. Earlier than that and I think they are
oblivious...
