2. I have a physical problem with my body called Cerebral Palsy. Basically because of brain damage the electrical impulses that would activate the muscles in my right arm and leg don't all reach the muscles. So I have partial paralysis of my right limbs.
3. THIS IS NOT a contagious condition. Do not ask me this ever again. If I do not know you, yes, you can ask me questions about my disability. But keep them sensible. Physical disabilities are not generally contagious. Illnesses that might lead to disabilities like polio are contagious. But the after effects are not.
4. Oh, and I don't know all the disabled people in the world or who has what disability. And to tell you the truth, I don't really care what they have. I'm more interested in if they're nice or funny or like sci fi movies like I do.
Perhaps you oh so perfect physically normal special snowflakes should spend a day in a wheelchair and learn a little empathy. As a person with cerebral palsy, I get so tired of the grow a thicker skin comments. I say " realize you're one head injury, severe fever or a short stoppage of oxygen of being me." Mental disability, physical disability, learning disabilities and mental illness are things all of you snowflakes are either going to experience yourself or someone you might actually care about will experience in their lives. And you're going to feel so terrible cause you can't do what you used to. You do have my sympathy, but I also think karma is a bitch and I'll allow myself a little smile at your expense.
