3. Living with Cerebral Palsy
I often get asked about my disability and I reply I have Cerebral Palsy, which effects my movement, and I also have Scoliosis. I few people look a bit puzzled when I mention Scoliosis as they haven't heard of it, I say to them well, its what's called curvature of the spine. I was born with Cerebral Palsy and diagnosed with Scoliosis in my twenties when I found out I had this condition I also didn't know what this was. I then decided to do my own research into this in terms of Cerebral Palsy and Scoliosis. I browsed many websites although at the time there wasn't very much information available. I then decided to set up this website and discussion forum, so that I could make contact with other people in a similar situation as myslef and share my experiences with others.
