It was recently announced that award-winning novel Out of my mind by Sharon Deep is going to be adapted into a Disney + original film.
Out of my mind‘s main protagonist Melody the narrator and protagonist. She is almost eleven years old and she was born with cerebral palsy, which means that she cannot control her body very well and cannot speak at all.
This is very exciting news for those with Cerebral palsy looking to be represented properly within the film I have no doubt that Disney will do a phenomenal job with making sure that those with cerebral palsy are satisfied with the film.
So I’m definitely looking forward to seeing this award-winning novel adaptation on the screen as someone who has read out of my mind durning a time in my life where I wasn’t proud of my diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy, it’s definitely gonna be an emotional watch for me but I’m looking forward to it.
Hopefully, the adaptation of out of my mind will open up doors to more films to feature protagonist with Cerebral Palsy .
