It has taken courage for me to write about my disability and my experiences in my book: Cerebral Palsy ‘A Story’ Finding the Calm after the Storm, wasn't an easy book to write.
Not writing about or learning about my disability, or my symptoms, would have continued to keep me in the dark. I owed it to myself, to find out about 'me.'
My diagnosis
With a diagnosis at 46, I needed to work out what my symptoms were and my blog was very much the starting point for that. I wanted to learn about my disability, what my symptoms were and what they meant and how those symptoms played a role in my mental and emotional struggles growing up.
We are all truth seekers
Truth is the truth, I didn't want to continue to hide behind it. As human beings, we are truth seekers, it is our right to have and to hear the truth. It took courage for me to face the truth.
When it comes to the truth, others may still choose to believe what supports their agenda, but the universe will always knows the truth that lies beneath the surface of other people's awareness. The truth wins in the end. There is no escaping karma.
Words should be based on truth
Our words should be based on truth. My words are based on my truth, growing up, not knowing about my disability. I write about the higher order in the universe that continually looks for and works on truth.
Putting my trust in 'hope'
As a small child, growing up not knowing about my disability, I believed I would find out about my disability. I put my trust in hope, I never gave up. What we deal with is very much about us. If the shoe were on the other foot, others would make the same judgment call. After all we all have a right to know what we deal with. Yes, we all have a right.

Your truth would always win in the end as untruths are built on a fragile structure, but the truth is built on solid foundations.
Now you have been able to lift the veil, we can all see this was your destiny all along.
Yes, I agree with you. When you're living the life you have, it's difficult to see the structure. I could never know then what I know now.
I agree with your analogy, how true. It's not always easy to know what others may think, particularly family, but I would hope that given the delicate nature of 'my story' they would come to understand why finding out was important.
I can't see why anyone would choose to ignore their disability, if they legitimately didn't know anything about it and needed to get to grips with the whole disability thing.
