Read on »If there is anyone out there with cerebral palsy who can relate to sensory problems, I would love to hear from you. It is common for those of us with cerebral palsy to experience abnormal sensation and perception. Not knowing I had cerebral palsy, these are the things I’m having to work through for the first time.
