The History of Cognitive Palsy

Some scholars have suggested that Emperor Claudius was perhaps someone who had been born with cerebral palsy. The sources for Sparta are quite problematic because they are written by observers, often at quite a distance in time and location. But we do also have independent historical evidence that King Agislaus was born with an impaired leg and that did not stop him from becoming one of the Spartan kings. It does suggest that actually Spartan society found a place for people with disabilities perhaps. Rosie? I'm very happy that in team cerebral palsy, we have a Roman Emperor. So welcome to the club, Claudius Shababy.
