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
