Yeah I still have ALL of my reflexes in full glory! But, what can be done
about it?  Can anything be done about it?  Or, are we supposed to spaz out
for the rest of our lives?

I'm thinking there must be some kind of desensitization therapy or
sensory re-integration work available for CP adults.  I've never seen
anything about it.  The doctors don't know either.

This is something I would like to manage better for personal and
professional reasons.
