@humda9086

it’s basically the levels of cerebral palsey. Mild is not too severe. It affects the person the least compared to the other levels. It can be assumed that the women in the right has mild because she can speak very well and only needs crutches to move. Moderate is when the disability is more affecting to the body but not as much as severe. The women in the wheelchair most likely has moderate because her speech is slight impaired while she also needs a wheelchair to live. Lastly, the man has severe cerebral palsey because his speech is very impaired and he is very limited in his movement. Severe cerebral palsey affects the person who has it the most compared to moderate and mild. Hope this helps!

I completely understand the fight to do what everyone else does. I was right there with you. I turn 52 in June and have to say, be careful how hard you push yourself. Our bodies are different. Our gaits are different. Our skeletal systems are different. Remember to take breaks periodically even if no one else is. Proper energy conservation is important. My body is completely different now at 51 than it was at 21, 31, or 41. Listen to your body more than society. In the future you'll be glad that you did.

I am 26 and I have Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy the left side of my body is affected, I was diagnosed at 16 months old. My parents were told that I would not be able to walk, run, ride a bike or play sports (but I am able to do all of those things). When I was younger I did have surgery at Dupont Hospital, followed by years of PT. I am able to walk, but I have a "limp". I have provided doctors wrong and continue to prove them wrong. This video really hits home for me.

Alright story time everyone, I was born only 1lb and 13oz and 3 months premature and had to be put into an incubator and the NICU to keep me breathing and alive while I continued to fully grow, I was in the hospital for 3 months I was hooked up to many machines and wires doctors didn’t know if I would survive as time passed other people in the NICU passed while I was still there improving my survival percentages I had 5 life threatening surgeries each one as critical as the last and due to a brain bleed on the right side I have hemiplegia Cerebral palsy which means my left side is weaker than my right side, at the age of 3 years old I finally took my first steps on my own without any help. Growing up my parents didn’t treat me as special they raised me like any other kid my age, I had many friends growing up and they didn’t care about my disability at all which I’m truly grateful for as I kid I had of dream of playing in the NHL like any other kid who liked Hockey but I couldn’t skate and plus my balance wasn’t great, so since the NHL was out of the question I turned to sled Hockey which is like stand up hockey with a couple modifications but still fast paced and competitive and I truly enjoy it, since I couldn’t play for my high school sports teams in the 7th and 8th grade I was a modified baseball manager which I loved doing then I quit until my senior year were I was the varsity hockey manager and that was the best year of my high school experience and I truly regret not doing it from my freshman to junior year, the hockey team welcomed me with open arms and considered me as part of the team, we won states that year and that was a great feeling now my name will be in the school gym forever, and all season long I was setting up a sled hockey game between my own hockey team and my varsity team, that was the only time I got to suit up in my school colors and play along side my teammates, they all enjoyed it and were excited about it. At my local church I’m in a youth group who helps to do confirmation retreat for 10th graders and I’ve been telling my life story since my junior year of high school and look forward to doing it, on my last day of high school I got up in front of my 250+ classmates who I graduated with and told them my story the response I wasn’t expecting as people were touched by my speech. On my graduation day I was mentioned by my superintendent but I didn’t catch what he was saying because I wasn’t paying attention, now I’m 19 and in my second year of college and still doing my speech in front of 10th graders and I’m possibly going to write a book about my life in the summer, just remember GOD has a plan for me and he also does for everyone else or we wouldn’t be alive

I was born 2lbs also 3 months premature. I waddle growing up everyone would complain about how slow I am and it'd get to me one time when I was in college I tried to walk fast and my achilleses locked up and I was stuck in excruciating pain and I didn't have anyone's number to call I'll never do that again. I have strabismus and I had 6 surgeries and the last one I remember I thought that it would help me see better that's why I got it but it only help a little and it took you voluntary movement. I was scared cuz I used to not see my eyes in the mirror in the morning. I'm 25 now and my glasses broke I've been without them for 7 months and I feel bad when I can't see people's faces. In school I took regular classes gym was my worst subject I was always behind everyone it's weird but sometimes when I ran I couldn't feel my feet on the ground. And my legs shake when I run and I never was able to climb that rope I'd just be holding on but I could get anywhere one teacher I think she gave me a lower grade on purpose. I wouldn't try to run up and throw in dodge ball. In elementary I played tee ball I could only use the tee. I would look at people and wonder why I didn't have calves like them why I couldnt I walk like them. Now I'm older and I feel more pain not that the pain ever went away I just wonder how long I can keep enduring it. I was a student ambassador and I got the perseverance award and that was very fitting I had gone up the Eiffel tower and they let me go at my pace and I had got new shoes that I wore for a whole day and tho I was slower than everyone else I didn't fall behind too much which was something I was worried about before. I have a hard time sleeping with the paralyzing pain at night and cramps in my feet and legs. Its hard to talk to people I supposed to be close to cuz they excuse it saying that it's cuz I don't do anything well I can't be activse the same way others are and dancing is the only thing that I can do that makes me feel normal. They don't ubderstand how constant it is

This brought me to tears because of how amazing and special you all are. Thank you for being the strong and determined people you are!

I'm dating a man who has cp, and I honestly never knew there were different levels of it. I knew there were different types, but having dating him, it's open my eyes to see that there are different severities of it. I honestly thought a lot were either crutches bound or wheelchair bound, and that's obviously not the case. But it does break my heart knowing people who have this fear being alone, as somebody who's on the autistic spectrum, sometimes I feel the same way.

As someone also living with Cerebral Palsy, I just love this raw conversation. It's so relatable for me and I hope to see more of this. Thank you for sharing

In realistic terms though, society is what it is and CP is brain damage and more likely associated with developemental delay etc. The struggle is different. Most people, despite how we think we are, really don't have the patience to listen to somebody who is difficult to understand, Asl any immigrant. It really isn't the same at all.

My six year old has moderate CP. She can walk on her own although she is unable to speak more than one sentence and has seizures (she also had Hydrocephalus). My biggest fear is to not being able to take care of her the rest of her life or dying before knowing she would be ok on her own. I just hope her two brothers will take the lead once mom and I depart this world. I would die a happy man to know she will be ok.

I struggle with social skills and executive functioning skills because of how my brain hemorrhage affects me. I’ve had grown up with social isolation and it’s still a painful struggle for me to this day as I am a college student in my early 20’s.

Girl in the middle is so connected & smart 💯

So much I can relate

Rollin Debbie same I have cp I was basically born with it.

I'm 49 and I have athetoid cerebral palsy. I have an adult son, which I raised on my since he was 8. He is busy living his life now and we're not so close anymore. I've only ever had 3 relationships and I am currently single. Because of my mental health struggles, my biggest fear is being and dying alone.

Even though I do not have CP, I had friends who did. That is why I never judge a book by it's cover. Also, enjoyed the video.

You guys can all get married despite disability. My husband has severe cp with a speech problem and we’ve been married for 21 years and now have 2 adult children. The possibility of having a family is totally possible. We had one child biologically, the other is adopted.

I have CP as well, great video!

Sending love ❤️

Definitely gained a new perspective, amazing video

Life is so unfair. Pray and hoping the next lifetime for these three will be healthy ,happy ,wealthy for them and nothing but joy and pleasure.

Ahhhhww I feel for them!!

THEY ARE MY HEROS. ♥️💙♥️

25 with CP use aids when needed but felt this so hard.

I relate a lot with these three people because I have this disability and it's hard dealing with the loneliness that we feel inside. I've been really thinking about making videos telling my story. And try to connect with people that are going through the same struggles. But I have been really shy about starting my own channel.

Good people!

I fear always being alone as well. I'm almost 37 and not getting any younger and my brother and friends all have families of there own. Having said that if the if that's the way it has to be that's life I guess

Same here, I just turned 40 this year, and everybody has families now, and here I am saying WTF do you want me to do. No one calls or emails I just don't seem to count, and the older you get the worse it gets. But I still try anyways hoping things will turn around.

@@mahbubamirzayeva7446 I have pain everyday all the time I always have to be aware of my body because the pain could be in any place.

A lot of times when people first meet me, people assume there’s something cognitively wrong with me because cp effected my speech. Im not worried about being alone and lonely later on in life. Since I’m never getting married. I am worried about finances, later on in life though.

I have cerebral palsy but I believe that everybody should go ahead live their life. It might be harder for some of us but
