Hi! When we meet, you will immediately notice me. I will be different from the majority. I have cerebral palsy and it is noticeable. My unusual movements give it away. 

​

Looking at me, one might think that I am very unhappy and have always been so. I want you to know that this is absolutely not true. Like any other child, I can be made happy or sad. If people love me, pay attention to me and play with me, I am very happy. Then my strange movements cease to be so noticeable, for example, someone has a big nose, and I have a small one. It's easy to get used to. 

​

Let me tell you about my diagnosis. The word "cerebral" means that the disorder occurred in the brain, and "palsy" means that muscle function is affected. I have these movements because my brain is not controlling my muscles properly.
