Hi there
I'm Hannah and I'm 26 years old. I have mild CP and I'd like to find other young adults to talk too.
Hope to hear from someone

Welcome to the community. I consider myself open minded person. I do not suffer from CP however, I have invisible disability of Trigeminal Neurophatic Facial Pain.
I like reading, craft and love cycling. What interest do you have?
I am in my early thirties (hope that isn’t too old!) and would also like to meet more people with an understanding of disability, even if they don’t have my exact combination or even any of my conditions.
I also love to read. On my best days I enjoy cooking. On less good days I play video games, and I’m training my dog to be my assistance dog. This does mean I’m heavily on the side of team dog, but I don’t dislike cats.
Firstly thanks for joining us!
I'm 42 so am definitely not a young person (although I'm about 21 in my head).
I don't have Cerebral Palsy, but I do have issues with auti-immune disease.
How's the assistance training going along? I have a German Shepherd but he mostly just shakes paws, barks for attention and rattles his food bowl when he wants feeding. It must take a lot of dedication to train a dog to assistance dog standards.
I adore dogs. I think they're such great companions, they're always pleased to see us and always make me smile.
Hiya @Han_
How're you? Are you enjoying looking around the forums? There's loads going on here and I'm sure you'll meet other like minded disabled people. It's a friendly group and people are always happy to chat.
I'm so impressed with how much you've taught already.
I have to confess I have a cat, two chickens, one Cockerell and a house spider in the bathroom that we call Bob. But I'm definitely Team Dog though.
I bet there's others on here with assistance dogs, it might be worth starting a post somewhere in here so you can share tips.
Anyway, lovely to meet you and I'm always happy to meet new people.
I'll bob over there now and have a look.
Welcome.

i am neither young nor have Ceberal Palsy. But as a fairly new member on these forums, it seems a very friendly, helpful and welcoming place.
best of luck finding some other fellow people with CP.
