@itsrachgordon: In all fairness, I get the confusion because I’ve talked about my stroke for YEARS. I did have a stroke and will ALWAYS advocate for stroke awareness 🫶 My stroke happened at birth and caused my left-sided hemiparesis, which is a form of cerebral palsy. A stroke before, during or shortly after birth can be one cause of CP. For so long, I connected so much of my story to the stroke community. Now I’m realizing there are SO many people with cerebral palsy and hemiparesis who have experiences so similar to mine. It’s been really special finding that community too 🫶 #cerebralpalsy #stroke #disability

The amount of people who don’t understand that you can have a stroke at any age is literally baffling. I’m constantly educating people.

Omg I had a brain hemmorhage from being born 3 months premature! I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a baby! I just got told by a doctor I have strong legs bc I do pilates. She pushed on my left arm for a muscle test and gasped bc it was so weak and was like “your arm shouldn’t be that weak” My mom was like “she has mild cerebral palsy” 🤣

I always thought this was common knowledge! My daughter’s CP is caused by a congenital brain malformation, so we get questioned sometimes as well. People don’t realize it’s an umbrella term for motor dysfunction cause by brain based conditions that happen early in life.

I have CP caused by my premature birth which caused the stroke…I was originally diagnosed with right sided hemiparisis but was changed to a quadriplegic by a Speciality hospital

The confusion comes from no one explaining that Cerebral Palsy means brain damage

Where do people think CP comes from? Like not a brain injury/brain …thing…(not sure right word)? I remember being told that my parents were told I could have CP as a result of a brain bleed when I was born.
