My name is Ailsa and I live with Cerebral Palsy, I wouldn’t say that my disability is that severe because I can do a lot of things and there are a lot of people who are worse off than me. I don’t have a huge amount of control over my hands, so I use my feet to operate my computer, I can do this quite easily. ~ My type of Cerebral Palsy is Quadriplegic (affects all four limbs) Athetoid (uncontrollable movements) Cerebral Palsy and it affects every muscle in my body, apart from my heart, luckily. ~ My Cerebral Palsy affects my right arm more than my left. I can’t use my right arm much at all due to it having increased movements and it being weaker. ~ I don’t see my disability as a be all and end all because if I come across a problem, I find a different way to do that task. For example; if come across a big wall, I know I can’t just carry on and go through it, I can find a way around it. ~ I have my own blog, which is called Brains on Wheels, where I write about my personal experiences surrounding disability. My blog posts vary, depending on what mood I’m in. ~ The URL to my blog is: ailsas.wixsite.com/brainsonwheels
