Dating someone with mild cerebral palsy

“Can you date someone with cerebral palsy?” Yes of course!

Hey, everyone! The questions regarding dating and disabilities are what you would expect and, I think, something people with disabilities think about already:. My first piece of advice is to remember that everyone goes through the awkward stages of a new relationship and getting to know someone , regardless of disabilities. My second piece of advice is to remember that communication is key. I clearly have a physical disability, but I used to think that it was best just to ignore that obvious fact unless my partner or potential partner wanted to talk about it. But that makes the situation awkward for both sides of the relationship. The person with disabilities feels on guard, just waiting for the hammer to drop. Remember, they like you and have an interest in you, regardless of your disability.
