Hi. My name is Misty but, my friends call me MD. I am 35 years old from the little town of Maple Lake Minnesota. I am now living in St. Cloud, I moved here in 2002. I was born with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and I have significant lower extremity weakness and atrophy with spasticity requiring bilateral ankle AFOs and use a wheelchair for mobility.

Very soon, a lot of little kiddos will visit your door. Be open minded. The child who is grabbing more than one piece of candy might have poor fine-motor skills or may be hungry. The child who takes forever to pick out one piece of candy might have motor planning issues. The child who does not say "trick or treat" or "thank you" might be painfully shy or non-verbal. If you cannot understand their words, they may struggle with developmental apraxia of speech. The child that doesn't answer when you talk to them, may have a hearing impairment. The child who looks disappointed when he sees your bowl might have a life-threatening allergy. The child who isn't wearing a costume at all might have autism or not be able to afford one. Be kind, be patient, smile, and try to understand. It's everyone's Halloween. Make each child feel special and make their parents feel good by making a big deal of their special child.
