After perusing this for the better part of a year, I must unsubscribe.  To those
of you who don't know me, I'm 29, have a mild case of CP and I work as a 
bridge engineer.  

I do participate occasionally on alt.support.cerebral-palsey.  The people over
there actually ask some pertinent questions every now and then.  Most (but not
all) of what I see here is like most of what I see on the internet - garbage.

So - having said that, let me leave you with what I feel is important, and please
read this...  I do think it is important.

To parents:  Most of what I've seen is parents that are terrified of what the future
holds for their kids.  In reality, it isn't that big of a deal.  Just take care of your
children and support them.  I think you'll be surprised at how well they adapt.

What I do think you can do are these three very important things:

1.  Teach your kids that life is not fair.
2.  Teach your kids to worry about what they can control, not what they can't control
3.  Teach your kids good social skills.  Make them interact with other children of 
     all walks of life.

To Children:  This will all come to pass.  Focus on what I said in point number 2.
You'll understand when you get older.
