Welcome to the community @lewisb22
As Ross says, we have lots of users with CP who I'm sure would love to chat with you.
Do you have any particular questions or concerns? Or perhaps some experiences you'd like to share? Feel free to get stuck in with any discussions that interest you!0 -

Hi @lewisb22
How are you?
We have many users with CP, and many parents of children with CP. We have a category dedicated to Cerebral Palsy and similarly a category for parents and carers, both of which you may like to browse.0 -

Hi @lewisb22
Good to meet you. I live with CP too. There are 130,000 adults with CP in the U.K. and 17 million across the world.
Ask me any question you like. Until I found the Scope online community about 6 years ago, I only knew one other person with CP.0 -
hi Richard where about do you come from? how does it effect your everyday life? I have mild c,p. people generally don't;think i have anything wrong with me some say comments like "are you drunk, are you stoned." but it does effect me to mentally process things0

Well, my CP means that all of my limbs are affected and I use a wheelchair. My legs are very stiff but I can stand and walk a little bit. my hands are affected too. So things like shoelaces are very tricky.
I'm in the West Midlands0
