Hi,
I'm 22 and have found the same thing. However, I have set up as support group for adults with CP. So we can talk about things like this. Take a look - http://www.livingpositively.healthunlocked.com/

I might be alittle late responding to your message ... but I know exactly what you mean. I'm 23 and it feels I'm learning how to live my live with CP all over again.

I'm feel the same at 35, in a strange kind of way it's good to know I'm not alone.

Hey, I'm 40. I definite believe that as you age and enter different stage of my life, I have become readjusted to my CP. I am currently dealing with some choking and breathing issues. It is scary at times.

Certain disabilities like cerebral palsy can have a definite impact with the ageing process or premature ageing. Scope has some good information on its website about Ageing if you want to read further.

I second that, yes, Scope does have some excellent resources on ageing. Its about sharing together what we have individually found to be helpful. We are not alone here, and everyone has a story that we can learn from.
