As an unsexy sufferer of unsexy brachial palsy, I concede this victory to you, good sir. (Madam?)

Brachial palsy doesn't even affect the brain, and I'm not even fully cognitive most of the time. Much luck to you for being so with cerebral. May your luck continue, and together with your labor, carry you to whatever lofty goals you pursue.

As someone with a more similar disability (left brachial plexus palsy, resulting in serious atrophy. Also genetically left handed), I can say there's nothing he won't be able to do with some ingenuity. While my left hand physically works, the arm is shorter than the right, and the dexterity is severely reduced. There are all kinds of tricks to learn and they vary person-to-person, but some modified controllers may help. I hope all the best for your son.

For those not in the know, SNOT stands for Studs-Not-On-Top, a Lego building technique in which the model's studs are arranged in directions that don't put them in the typical studs all over the top fashion. Lego, itself, has adopted this technique more and more in recent years.

Ankylosing Spondylitis here: my body is allergic to the joints in my lower spine, hips, and knees. Immunosuppressants are common treatment, but side effects are many and in some cases can very easily outweigh the desired effect. In my case, it made me sick and put me at very increased risk of tuberculosis, and it would take weeks of therapy to start to see any effects- months to get the desired level of impact. Of course, it would only take about a week and a half on the treatment to start to get bad sinusitis, and I'd have to stop.

Immunosuppressants may help, but it's definitely something to weigh the pros and cons of. In my case, it didn't make sense to continue the regimen. (Bear in mind: they're very expensive. A month's supply of etanercept, the drug I was using, is $2,000)
