And common understanding that CP doesn't go away after childhood, and secondary, tertiary etc symptoms can and do change over time #CPChatNow
A standard protocol for rehab and management for adults. Everything I have gotten I have had to advocate for and it’s fragmented. It seems like for kids there’s a standard script #CPChatNow
Goodnight #CPChatNow!
QUESTION: 10 years from now, what progress do you hope is made in relation to cerebral palsy issues? #CPChatNow
In multiple ways I feel like CP helped me build patience. For instance, CP has taught me rushing will increase risk of injury. So, instead of rushing, relax, be patient, and take your time. #CPChatNow
I see. That sort of goes to the mindset of control what you can control. #CPChatNow
That's probably one of the reasons as a child I tried so hard to blend in and be like everyone else. Society itself makes standing out feel like something bad. #CPChatNow
A lot hasn’t gone exactly the way I wanted in my life, but I realized I can create new goals #CPChatNow
How did CP help you develop that skill? #CPChatNow
Not sure it helped. I kept to myself most of my life and it was because of the CP. You know children were a little cruel to someone who was different. #CPChatNow
I’m very good at processing emotions quickly and moving on fast #CPChatNow
QUESTION: How would you say cerebral palsy has helped build or develop your character? #CPChatNow
I just posted on Instagram about how I feel CP can build character. The challenges CP creates can leave you feeling down or reshape your focus to a solving problems mindset. Of course problem solving is only one way CP develops and builds character. #CPChatNow
There is certainly a need for that! #CPChatNow
Who is your team Stephen? #CPChatNow
I like the focus more on adults with CP recently #CPChatNow
I think traditionally we think of "CP awareness" as telling others without CP about CP. However, I also think internal CP awareness is important. Understanding how the condition could effect somebody differently or being aware of resources that will better equip you for success. #CPChatNow
Have you been to any games before? #CPChatNow
You have to make time for priorities! 🤣 #CPChatNow
I just did a Google search and yeah. He is an independent professional wrestler based out of New York. #CPChatNow
Yes #cpchatnow
Funny to think he actually reads my blog. #CPChatNow he’s too busy earning the money to keep me in the manner I’ve grown accustomed. 🤣
QUESTION: What does the phrase "cerebral palsy awareness" bring to your mind? #CPChatNow
His Facebook page looks like he is a wrestler. #CPChatNow

Are you excited for the season? #CPChatNow
Did he not read your blog post from yesterday? 🤣 #CPChatNow
At first glance the name doesn't ring a bell to me. #CPChatNow
Baseball is back #cpchatnow
So sweet. I chided my husband this morning for not wearing green and he changed into a green shirt for me. 💚
