Powerchair=good idea! need opinions?!

Powerchair=good idea! need opinions?

i am 15 and have autistic quadriplegic spastic cerebral palsy. i am able to walk around the house but it takes me long to do ADLs(activities of daily living) when i leave the house which has very small hallways and everything so i have LOTS of places to help support me. however i dont think it is good for me to be walking like this, we are moving to a totally powerchair accessible house soon and i am thinking about trying to get a powerchair, my girlfriend uses one she has my kind of CP but hers morphed when she was 16 to the point she couldnt walk at all, mine is showing that it is headed down that path. i have seizures, they cause all muscles to shake uncontrollably but i do think i would be able to safely operate a powerchair with proper emergency override systems (attendant control and emergency shutoff switch) oh... running out of room here... i will come back on an additional paragraph to the question... stupid yahoo answers dont let me go on and on about stuff!

my girlfriend uses a TDX5 with tarsys 2G tilt-recline system, and contour U seating. when i am at her house with her, if shes out of the powerchair im in it lol. for one my kyphosis feels much better with that particular seating system and when i am in a tilted and or reclined state. i will post a link to my observationally based mobility evaluation that is hosted on my own server http://cerebralpalsy.zapto.org/mobility%...

oh and one more thing... your opinions are merely extra input... they will not change my decisions. so no saying "you dont need a powerchair" because i can already tell you this "i know what i need and what i want" and i need a powerchair.

Get a power chair if it will help you.It will make you more mobile and active.
