    Default Isle of Wight cerebral palsy author writes autobiography using his nose

    Isle of Wight cerebral palsy author writes autobiography with his nose

    22nd February 2019

    Writer Josh Barry has cerebral palsy and has spent the past nine years writing a book about his life with his nose.

    Because of his limited mobility and speech he previously used an array of switches connected to a computer - or would dictate to a scribe - but says he started using his nose to type on the keyboard of an iPad so that he could be more creative.

    Josh, who is from East Cowes on the Isle of Wight, works as a freelance journalist and runs an entertainment website where he has interviewed celebrities including Sir Ian Botham and Jeremy Kyle.

    He says he wants to "raise awareness of other people in my situation who despite being different, can achieve their dreams and aspirations".

    What a remarkable, determined, and inspirational person.

    I feel sorry for him though and it's sad seeing his condition.

    I think he should be given the computer that the late Professor Stephen Hawking used which helped him to express his thoughts.

    I wish him all the best.

    If you see a post in red font made by my username, that means that it is Pompey's post, not mine.

    I've seen videos of some amazing pianists who are deaf and of painters who are blind. Truly amazing people.

    I also saw this news clip video once of an Englishman who's a paraplegic and paralysed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair, and he flew all the way from England to Australia all by himself... in just a microlight aeroplane.
