Really good for you, I'm starting to learn all that stuff at 29 since I'm stubborn. About 6 years ago I had a neurologist tell me that I have a lot of issues that point to a mild form of CP but it was so mild it wasn't affecting me then at least that's what I thought. I should probably investigate this more though since now I'm off work due to a load of health issues from pushing it past its limit over and over.

Hi Emma, Wanted to reach out. I have cerebral palsy, and I found this video very informative. However, there are several things I should emphasize: Though I'm in a wheelchair, that level of confinement isn't necessarily "severe". In fact, it's mild; I can talk with ease and have fluid upper-body movement. The movement in my legs is restricted, but that doesn't mean I can't move at all. The most important point to stress here is that the spectrum of CP is far from linear. There are some who can walk, but may experience great difficulty with balance and speech. On the other hand, there may also be some in wheelchairs who have very little difficulty with them. A few other points to be noted: Cerebral palsy is neither hereditary, nor is it a disease, and it is completely separate from paralysis or mental retardation. Anyway, just thought I'd offer my two cents. Great video overall!

It's no surprise, and I don't blame you. The main thing is that it's made out to be so much more than it actually is. While there is all this "if maybe possibly" talk about a disease, it's not in any way. This is an environmental condition, more of an accidental occurrence. Think of it this way, just because you broke your arm at some point, doesn't mean your baby will be born with one, neither will their baby, just saying :)

Weak posture, spasticity in the muscles (really depends on the severity), difficulty talking, all having to do with movement. Another thing you should know is that everything "down there" functions absolutely fine regardless, and everyone who has it is otherwise totally healthy by nature.

Hi Rohan, not necessarily. Those who were born premature with CP may experience some seizures when first being born (like I did), but as far as I know, full-on epilepsy doesn't come as "part of the package", if you know what I mean.

I got pretty much diagnosed with a mild case of cerebral palsy and didn't even think much of it at the time since all of my symptoms were so mild that I didn't even notice lol. The problem is now since my anxiety is way out of control, I'm starting to really notice all of the symptoms I've been having since I'm born. I'm just one hell of a stubborn idiot that I'm off work at the moment. I have poor muscle control and balance but really good reflexes to make up for it lol. It's not falling or tripping if you could always stop yourself from falling in my head lol. I keep my muscles active all the time so maybe that's why I never usually notice alot of the symptoms don't know.

I have mild cerebral palsy and it was caused by the umbilical cord around my neck causing the loss of oxygen. I’m really surprised that it’s only like 10% of cases because I thought this way of getting it was one of the most common

Reason #2401847 why I love Khan Academy. The subject matter Khan covers is so vast. I use Khan videos to study (in prenursing). But the most awesome thing is that I have been dealing with a possible CP diagnosis in my family for the past couple of years and you guys explain it elegantly in 10 mins. As for the periventricular leukomalacia, it’s also referred to as white matter hyper intensity or WMHI. Frustratingly, it’s considered a “non-specific” finding so it doesn’t come with an easy explanation about what other problems and diseases it can lend to... and there are many.

Very well explained. Again, I have learned more here in this short video; then doctors have told me throughout my whole 2 year battle with my son; in which they caused this Postnatal CP; but are trying to call is PVL. Hmmm...

Coming from someone who has CP and is in a wheelchair, there are different types of "server" I can function normally. I just can't walk and need some help with daily things such as bathing and getting dress and getting in out of bed but other than that I can function on my own pretty well and i just want to point out. it is not genetic nor a disease.

Yes, although doctors are often loath to admit it. However, with improved fetal monitoring, the increase in the rate of cesareans and advances in the treatment of oxygen loss, I suspect this cause is becoming increasingly rare.
