Hi @lewisb22
Good to meet you. I live with CP too. There are 130,000 adults with CP in the U.K. and 17 million across the world.
Ask me any question you like. Until I found the Scope online community about 6 years ago, I only knew one other person with CP.Scope

hi Richard where about do you come from? how does it effect your everyday life? I have mild c,p. people generally don't;think i have anything wrong with me some say comments like "are you drunk, are you stoned." but it does effect me to mentally process things

Well, my CP means that all of my limbs are affected and I use a wheelchair. My legs are very stiff but I can stand and walk a little bit. my hands are affected too. So things like shoelaces are very tricky.
I'm in the West MidlandsScope
