"Cerebral palsy is indeed the sexiest of the palsies!"

Hell yeah it is.

Wow! It is a miracle that you are fully cognitive. I completely agree; too much attention is focused on large charities. Not that they don't do great work, but there are many smaller organizations that deserve to be in the spot light as well. I'm not involved with any CP organizations now. In the future, I would like to be. I would love to volunteer or be a life coach for one of these. Best of luck on your endeavors.

Im my case, I was born severely premature and was in the ICU for about a year after birth. I had malnutrition since the umbilical cord wasn't working properly.

Thanks for the question. Most of the time, people treat me like any regular guy. They don't mention anything about it. Certain times, people will be overly nice to me to the point where it is annoying. A few days ago, I was out at a crowded fair and an older lady insisted on "clearing the traffic for me." Although they have good intentions, these people are really freaking annoying. If I need help, I'll ask for it. A few people have talked to me like I am a toddler (I'm in high school, dude). Also, they sometimes assume I am "a little boy." This doesn't happen often though. People don't realize that I'm fully functioning in my brain and that I am probably smarter than they are.

Eat fruits and vegetables, sleep, and study hard but party harder.

A better term would be normal intelligence. I am, however, in all honors classes so you decide.

Great question, I have a few to share. I was at a restaurant and an asshole said he didn't want the table near the cripple. I cursed him off and ran over his foot. The restaurant refused to serve him and they gave me free dinner. I've had full grown adults say to me, "What's wrong with you?" in as rude tone. I replied that I got hit by a drunk driver to make them feel like the biggest ass on earth. Also, adults staring about me and talking like I can't hear them.

• How often do shoplifters utilize kids?
• Has anyone in a wheelchair shoplifted at your store?
• Why is your company's policy of stopping and restraining shoplifters?
• Are you allowed to chase someone out of the store?
• Do you carry handcuffs?
• Is internal theft a large problem?

Thanks!
