What are the long term impacts and effects for people with Cerebral Palsy and the way we are looked down upon?  It’s been my experience, that a great deal of energy and effort has been spent in categorizing particular levels of intelligence and ability. Why is it that we as people with C.P. have to keep proving ourselves?   Why is it that as hard as we try to make something of our lives we see our opportunity’s slip away day by day through our finger tips?  Why is it that the experts continue to label us and define what we are allowed to do?  Is it because we have brain damage?
