1. Why is it always children when talking about CP? We're adults as well.

    It absolutely 'gets' me how everyone assumes that when we age out, that people with CP don't have any further questions, concerns or life issues dealing with CP.  We don't even have a good group of doctors that are focused on our conditions, because it is assumed that we are all Pediatrics.  Children do grow up, and the concerns about vaccination involve adults as well, and no, we are not all "healed" by the time we're over 18-26.  So some of us that are 60 (like me) would still like to be involved in being written about.  Lord knows it is hard enough to even find doctors who understand about various forms of CP.  We are not all the same, and we sure aren't "children".
