I’m a 16 year old with CP and i’ve lived with it my whole life; i’m Mobile, i can walk and speak and even run! just not as well as my peers. CP is so underrepresented so to see a TV show about it just makes me feel so seen. I was bullied all throughout school and still am for “waddling” when i walk. So to see Disney bringing light to CP is so heartwarming ❤

[@emopalsy]

32 years old and I have CP Does anyone know if there are more movies with CP representation? Because honestly this is the first one I’ve seen. I mean I watch documentaries, but not a movie about it

[@Alphawolf2017]

I am an adult with Autism. I have a dear friend who has cerebral palsy and I read this book to them when it was published way back in 2010 (both of us are/were huge fans of the author). When I found out that this book was getting a film adaptation a couple years ago I was elated and was eager to show my friend it whenever it would be available. Unfortunately, my friend passed away last year at the age of 24 from a stroke, so to honor them, I will wear the t-shirt I made them while I watch it with their family in November. It'll be a good way to remember my superhero of a best friend and to see a favorite book of mine to be adapted to screen.

​@@Raguleader I loved this book. I've read it twice ❤. I'm definitely going to check this out.

[@renten17]

I read this book in middle school. Before I “became” physically disabled (my symptoms where minimal and dormant/ unnoticed at the time) it really gave me a way more inclusive and understanding perspective on disabled people around me. I really think every child should read it at some point in their little lives. I’m so glad Disney casted somebody with CP, we rarely get to see disabled actors play disabled roles. So excited 🥹

[@FigurativeCritter]

I really hope this movie does this book justice. This book actively helped me to change how I act around and treat a lot of disabled people. Not because I hadn't been trying to be kind and respectful before, but because it actively puts the reader into Melody's situation, and really highlights the mistreatment she goes through even from people who think that they are being good friends to her. It made me question my internal biases and recognize the unintentional problems of my previous mindset. And I think this book really taught me the difference between pity and respect. I hope that this movie can do the same for others.

"Sometimes I need a push, but I won't be pushed around." Shivers. As a disabled person, I didn't like how the book was written. But seeing the trailer, seeing that Melody's actor has CP and uses a wheelchair herself...I have hope. Tentatively excited for this!

[@Tinyvalkyrie410]

As a wheelchair user myself, I’ve been thinking about reading the book… could you elaborate on what you didn’t like about it? I’ve pretty much only seen positive reviews, which always makes me a little suspicious. My condition is to rare to get represented on screen, but I identify a lot with people who have CP, since I share some of their symptoms. I wanted to see if the hype for this book is true

[@magicallymaddie]

@@Tinyvalkyrie410 I read Out of My Mind for the first time as a nondisabled kid, again as a disabled tween, and then again recently. I didn't see anything wrong with it when I was much younger (it's a cute, inspirational story to someone that age), but it's almost a little too inspirational, if you get what I mean. I distinctly remember thinking that Melody's a ctions and internal dialogue were both unrealistic. There's a really strong theme of "overcoming disability" that I didn't love, especially in the second book (Out of My Mind). This might be the biggest one, but I always have a bit of an issue with nondisabled adults writing disabled child characters in literature. I have yet to find one that was truly good representation in my point of view. Internal dialogue tends to be excessively negative towards life and disability and some things always end up plain wrong (I'm looking at you, Roll With It - wheelchairs come in more colors than black!). The book isn't awful, I just have a couple of pet peeves with it. There's better representation out there written by people who have lived experiences similar to the character.

[@Tinyvalkyrie410]

@ yeah I was concerned about all that. It’s just too bad that it’s like that. Stories written by able bodied folks for able bodied audiences about disabled characters will always be a problem for me

Thank you for sharing this sweet story! However, you may not want to share personal information, like your grade/age, online. There are some people on the internet who can use your information to track you and learn more things you don't want them to know, or they can sell that information to other people. These data stealers especially like to target children and teens, so revealing your age can make you even more vulnerable. You should also avoid sharing your real name, home address, school, or anything else that could be used to identify you. I would highly recommend changing your profile name, or at least your picture, to something that isn't you (like your favorite animal or fictional character). I hope this doesn't come off as condescending or anything, I'm just trying to warn you against the dangers of the internet. Have a great day!

I work with a lot of nonverbal autistic kiddos, not in the same category as CP, but I’ve definitely seen the amazing things kids can do when you give them a voice. It’s incredible. This trailer made me so emotional

[@kirakira1212]

made me cry. my job allows me to work with pediatric CP and I have nothing but respect for parents who absolutely love and adore their child with CP despite all the challenges and difficulties they have to face.

[@IauraJ]

I’m so glad that representation like this will exist. My younger sister has CP and I’d love for her to be able to have a character to relate too and see on the screen who is just like her. It means so much. I hope Disney keeps on expanding Their trajectory for inclusion!

[@LisaAerts]

Ok, sitting here, crying, and crying some more, my beautiful, amazing daughter has shown me everyday what life is about, what love is about, I am the luckiest mom to have her in my life.

[@tinamarshall148]

I just watched this movie and totally cried! I am a 39 year old woman who has stuttered my whole life. My daily struggles are not a lot compared to her but I really could totally relate! She just wants to be heard, she has so many things she wants to say or do, I TOTALLY get it! Theres so many times I want to say something and dont either cause of my own insecurities or cause people unintentionally keep talking as I'm trying to jump in and say something. There's so many people I've wanted to say hi to and introduce myself, so many things I've wanted to do but dont because a lot of talking is required. I really really try hard not to let my stutter stop me or get in the way but honestly sometimes it does and it really sucks!! You never know the daily struggles others go through!

[@desireedacosta5745]

Thank you Disney for making this movie! As an adult with Cerebral Palsy I wish there was more representation of disability in tv and movies back then. Increasing awareness and inclusion of individuals with Cerebral Palsy is very important to me and is the reason why I wrote a children’s book called All About Me and Cerebral Palsy, published earlier this year. Available in Canada and the US!

[@chichiiro7776]

@@desireedacosta5745 Congratulations!! I will look for it.

[@CrystalKStearns]

This is so amazing. We need more things like this. More accessibility awareness. More acceptance of all people. Less fear and hatred of what is different. I can not wait to see this movie.

[@danielasabransky5583]

I have spastic diparesis myself and it also affects my speech. I am often thought of as stupid even though my mind is strong. My language is not as fluent and clear and people no longer take the time to really listen. In addition, my disability is seen and things are denied to me or I am patronized. I already had tears in my eyes when I saw the trailer and read the comments. Thanks to Disney for this film.

[@afrogal_legay6925]

I have been waiting for this movie since I was 10. So happy Melody is played by an actor with CP. It looks like it has very good intentions and I’m excited to see how it goes.

[@TheSwedishDoc]

Hello! Fellow 26-year-old with CP. just this trailer alone made me really emotional, so I'm VERY excited to watch this movie!

[@eviegrays7018]

wait this was my favorite book in elementary school- I read it so many times and brought it so many places, the paper back cover became soft, and every corner was bent. First came “Are you there God, it’s me, Margaret”, and now “Out of my Mind”! My childhood books are being made into films and I can finally share them with the ones I love!

[@sheryleevermaak6607]

I have goosebumps, I have a lump in my throat... This. This needs to be told. This needs to be heard. This needs to be seen. And that song at the end... "Hey, don't write yourself off yet..." ...I need this.

[@Therealcadesaslcovers]

I am a 16-year-old girl with FND, ROP, ADHD, PTSD, GAD, PNES, and more. When I read this book for the first time I started crying. It puts you in the perspective of Melody, a disabled kid who is smarter than a lot of us. 😂 As a disabled kid at the time, I felt so happy to read another disabled kid’s story, fictional or not. Thank you for turning this into a book and not only raising awareness for my friends around the globe who have CP but also raising awareness for the disabled community as a whole.

[@JurassicTheory]

This movie is going to be great! Kids with disabilities such as cerebral palsy are braver than you believe, stronger than they seem and smarter than you know. 🙏 😊

This makes me so happy! I'm a Recreational Therapist, and I previously worked with clients with various disabilities, including CP. Seeing things like this make my heart so happy to see people of all abilities & their stories represented and shown in film!!

This is the most heartbreaking and most beautiful thing i've ever seen.

[@jojoscarsandstuff99]

just watched this movie with my daughters and I can't believe this was made by Disney by far better than anything they have put out in years. we were all in tears such a heart felt movie. I've recommended it to everyone I know it really opens your eyes to what special needs kids go thru.

[@theQtube145]

Watching the trailer I cried, it feels so good for people to see and understand these illnesses, I was born with autism ADHD Tourette’s OCD and my life is well odd you could say but seeing and hearing more movies/stories like this pulls at my heart because well I don’t think I would change it at all. Mabye the OCd but I’m happy about who I am. Random thought over. Been having a rough time lately

[@obviisadiee]

This was the first ever novel I read (Grade 4 with my mom) and it’s honestly one of the best books EVER. Crazy that they’re making this a movie. I can tell you 100 percent you’ll enjoy it.

[@soliloquy7495]

I'm autistic and I remember reading this book when I was younger and absolutely loving it. I'm so excited to see it's being brought to the film. Also, I love that people are actually having disabled people playing disabled roles now

[@ColinPMcEvoy]

I’m a father of a boy who is Autistic. This trailer got right to my heart. Some of us know what the challenges are and some of us don’t. Those that don’t, watch this. If it’s like the book it will definitely make you cry.

[@GrayLZ]

I read this book over a decade ago when I was the book's target demo, and I absolutely loved it. Such a wholesome story, and I'm excited to see the film adaptation now as an adult.

[@tdlover5164]

My little sister has autism, I know that feeling when someone with special needs is able to speak to us. It's a feeling that you cherish forever. Props to the actor who plays the dad, he really captured that perfectly.

[@SpecialKmusic]

I'm an adult with Cerebral Palsy. This film would be the first time I've considered giving Disney Plus my money. It means a lot to see others with CP represented and to illustrate both the joy and the challenges one faces.

[@3DPT]

Representation matters, and it's great to see a talker / AAC featured along with a authentic actor. I wish it was in theaters along with Disney+, I'd pay for a ticket or to stream it. It also reminds me of the struggles I had with education. I was 2e, with bad handwriting (dysgraphia) that was so bad I almost failed math because my teacher couldn't read my work. Typing with an AlphaSmart was the best thing ever!

[@mikaneleefort2040]

My little sister has CP and this has me SOBBING, this is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen, thank you

Looking forward to watching this. Being a 56 year old man with cerebral palsy since birth, you can imagine the smile on my face just now knowing the movie will further educate and make many many more people understand this health condition/disability.

Im 20yrs old with CP and SBO, and I cant wait to watch this. It seem like it would be amazing!!!

[@Moviefanatic-sr21]

I was diagnosed with autism at age 10. At first, I was really sad because I thought I would never be normal. I even had to move primary schools because they wouldn’t have accepted me for my autism But after some help from my family and friends (some of whom have cerebral palsy or ADHD), I learned that I didn’t need to be normal to fit in. I could be myself as freely as I wanted and I thank each and every one of my friends and family for helping. Not just them, but I thank movies. I’m a huge movie nerd and I love them. Movies helped me in really tough times, so to see a movie like this being made really makes me happy and I can’t wait to watch it. Thank you so much Disney from the bottom of heart ❤️ EDIT: spelling error

I am a special education teacher, and it blows my mind that back then students were treated unfairly like this just because they have a disability. I remember hearing this book when I was younger and thinking I hope that when I’m a teacher I’m able to change the way. Students feel included.
