The Story of a Life with Epilepsy

Hi, my name is Faith and I was adopted at the age of two. I had a stroke either while I was born or after I was born. This stroke caused me to have cerebral palsy which I was diagnosed with as a baby. As I grew older I was then diagnosed with epilepsy. When I turned nine and a half my older sister who is a nurse practitioner told me that I was on the brink of autism. My family is very supportive and loving towards me. I have many friends and I enjoy doing normal children things even if i am not one bit normal. I am know eleven years old and will be turning twelve in June. If you have epilepsy or any other special needs there are two very important things you know. !. You Are Loved 2. You can do anything because nothing is impossible with God.
