I have a wish list:
For everyone with CP to be able to live, think of a goal and pursue it without having to overcome additional obstacles, and without having to prove themselves. A question should be "How can I help you achieve this goal?" not "How are you going to do that?"
I wish that the medical community didn't give up after a certain age, because cerebral palsy doesn't disappear. Everyone deserves to perform at their maximum and have the right to determine that for themselves, not relying on a doctor or an insurance company.
I wish that people with CP that need assistance did not need to be dirt poor in order to be eligible for assistance or stay dirt poor to remain eligible
I wish that cerebral palsy did not mean to some I lived a completely different existence and cannot relate to others.
I wish to ease the burden of always being positive
I wish for others with CP to be able to tell their story; the good, bad, funny, sad, angry, embarrassing,
to eliminate shame.
I wish for better public transit options
I wish for more of everything; more awareness, more research, more communication, more conversation about what needs to happen, and more hope and faith from society that people with CP will lead a full, self-determined life.
