We asked our buddy Zach Anner to tell us the top 10 things he wishes people knew about cerebral palsy. Comment and tell us about some things you wish people knew about CP!

I wanna see this conversation so bad.
“What’s wrong with your legs?”
“I have brain damage.”

"And I won the Westminster Dog Show last MY GOD."

Fucking had me in tears.

This video made me smile. I love Zach's attitude towards cerebral palsy, and it makes me wish I felt this way about having cerebral palsy. He's really funny too!

Who the hell would dislike this? awesome job Zach!

[spyrocrashthecats]

That guy is really funny! Great video.

[waywardmind]

Zach is one of my favourite people. Incredible comedian and just all-round awesome person. Keep on kickin' ass, Zach!

"I'm working with what I got there." <-- This. It's true for everyone. Therefore, no one should be viewed as inspiring just for being alive, like he said in #5.
Also very excited about everything he says for #10.

Just watched Zach Anner on the latest episode of Drawfee and when I tell you this man is hilarious, it is not an exaggeration

[Elizabeth-fhik]

im 28 and have cp and had no idea about the foundation, thanks, and those were all good points.

[noahchen]

Dear Zach, I am 13 years old and have cerebral palsy. I really enjoyed watching your videos on YouTube. You are an inspiration for me. Please make more videos.

I have CP and I love this guys attitude!

[tylerzylstra]

I work with several people who have CP. Growing up, I only was friends with one guy who had CP and it was really limiting for him. It's been really educational for me to find out just how broad the range of symptoms can be for it but literally everyone has been awesome.

One of my better work friends and I enjoy going back and forth about him not being able to stand up and my blood not clotting. It's hilarious to watch people's reactions in public!

I think the one thing that I would add to this list is that, regardless of disability, we're all people first. The disabilities are just a trait we have, they don't define us. I'm a person who happens to have Hemophilia. My friends just happen to have CP. We all have our own battles to face, some might be more visible than others but we're all people first.

I love this gentleman. I have a son with CP, and I'm going to share this with him. He needs to hear good stuff like this, and I love to hear him laugh!

[DiscardedSlinky]

That brain damage part made me laugh so hard, it was said so funnily. I'm glad you take it all with stride, and you're so happy with life! I know a lot of people with medical conditons often feel shunned and hide. I'm glad you're out there like this.

[kendraestes]

I love this, I have cerebral palsy as well, and it was interesting to see some of the differences that he wants people to know. Some of mine are completely different!! love you Zach, keep doing what your doing!

[craigmusgrovekelowna]

Zach... Seriously dude.. you made my day! Fantastic outlook on life and funny as heck!! God Bless you sir!!

[GangOFilms]

I found this video while scrolling on Facebook earlier this week, and it led me to subscribe to Zach's channel, and I'm gonna check out that show Speechless, too. Zach's a really funny guy and I find his outlook on life refreshing! Gotta get my hands on Zach's book too!

This guy needs to work in HR, I'm not talking interviewing warehouse workers, I want this guy to interview potential CEO's, high level managers etc... if they can stand up to the shit he can throw at them, they get the job.

How can you not love this guy Zach!!?? You are one in a trillion!!! Luv you!!! ;)
