People under estimate kids with disabilities. Both my sons have Spastic Diplegia - Cerebral Palsy and I already expect great things from them.

The author should have done a little more research on the condition though

Schnermann spent most of his youth battling spastic cerebral palsy, a condition caused by a shortage of oxygen at birth.
Cerebral Palsy can be cause during pregnancy, at birth, after birth or even be genetic. You don't so much battle it, as manage it as it cannot be cured, although in some cases a child shows no symptoms when they are older.

Good luck to him.
