My brother has CP, sounds about the same as your son, he's in a wheelchair and has limited mobility. He was written off early in life by the schools and was put into special ed classes even though is was very quick witted. He could hold intelligent conversations at an early age and developed a great sense of humor. One of my favorite stories was one day a kid walked into class, tripped over a desk and said 'Man, I cant walk today'. My brother immediately rings out with 'Yeah, me neither'.

Anyway, he is now an online professor, works super hard, and makes more a year than you and me combined. He is doing very awesome. Not only is he happy but he brings joy into the lives of everyone around him. I guess I just wanted you to know that not every disabled person becomes a pity story.

You got to give people like them credit. Imagine having a life altering handicap like that, and then laughing at it! It'd be like having someone point a gun at your head then making a joke about the guy holding the gun, every day! Fucking amazing.

On the subject of skateboard bearings, I love swiss bearings but have always thought they were way to expensive. What do you think of these:

He works very hard and for multiple colleges and universities. Also its a bit of an expression as I don't know how much OP makes.

I don't think rust is a problem with skateboards, running through water would probably damage more that the bearings. How do I find a local bearing distributor? I'd love to do a review of how the two compare to each other.
