Do you have a disability??

Have you ever wondered why someone would come up to you and ask "Do you have a disability?" 

Well two years a go I was face with this question.  I was at a fall festival in my town, and this guy came up to me and my family and asked me "Do you have a disability?" I know it sounds creepy right. But any way I did say yes I do and then I said Cerebral Palsy. I know by the way I walk and talk I have a disability.

I kinda feel like telling and even talking  about Cerebral Palsy is a great way to spread awerness. I know it sounds weird that I would say something like this. In all respect would I like people to stop starring and not call disabled people nasty words because we are all Unique in  our own way!

What makes everyday hard..

My cerebral palsy effects my speech. So people have a hard time understanding me. Most people can understand me when I have face to face contact. It's even harder for people to understand me on the telephone. It's hard and sometimes frustrating to have to repeat myself.

With my disability of  cerebral palsy if I take my time with my speech people can understand me better but when I get really excited my speech is horrible and people do not understand me. They aka(speech therapist) same that my speech will most likely will not get better and that my speech will stay the same. I think they are WRONG. I am determined to make my speech better not worse.

Some days people can't understand me even with seeing my face. Yes somedays I want to give up and just not talk. Is that a option for me? No, because then i would be giving up everything I worked hard for.

I have a lot to be thankful for because God gave me a mild case of cerebral palsy I could have the serve type of cerebral palsy have been confined to a wheelchair and not be able to talk.  Yes, I may wish some days I would have the sever type of cerebral palsy but I won't trade my type for it.

What do you mean I have a different disability.

When i was in 6th grade of 2008, Mom took me to a specialist to see if i had this disability. When I was born, they thought I had Mitochondrial disorder. Which the way mom tells people is that with this disorder if baby's make a year old that they will live. How does my mom know this? My older sister had this. She did not make it to a year. I never knew her.
So when Mom and I went to green bay to see a doctor and he had me do a biopsy and a MRI. So two days i was out of school. A month or so,They called my mom to tell her that i have cerebral palsy. How did my mom handle it she cried for a wile and called the local Cerebral Palsy center.
