Question: hi, im 18 i have CP and am going to college, i have to say CP effects all aspects of my life from making food to going out,to driving. it really does effect you and who you are as a person. i use a walker but am very social i go to parties have many friends pretty basic life. Cp just effects your approach on many things like public speaking i get very nervous and self-concious . mentally im very sure of who i am and what i want, things people or say rarely bother me like it does my brothers or other people im with. over all im fairly normal person in terms of lifestyle.

I think it all depends on how severe the CP is.
Some people are spastic with limited mobility. Some people need Personal Care Attendants to help them with their daily living skills (bathing, eating). Some people's speech is affected because of CP.
Each person has his/her own story in terms of the social, physical and emotional factors.
