Hi Princess, my understanding of CP is that it is caused by a lack of oxygen at birth. Perhaps an issue of being in birth canal too long, cord wrapped around neck for too long, or emergency ceasarians where baby still didnt get out in time.

I have a friend who also has CP, he has a pretty good life. His legs are buckled, but he can walk, his arms are crooked also, so when he walks he is like a puppet on a string. His speach is really poor, but we can understand him, just have to listen.

He sleeps with girls ( he is a bit of a hussy actually), has a part-time job, is a social person, he loves life, just hates his speach. For him there is no learning difficulties, only physical barriers. I thought CP was only restricted to physical issues not learning.???
