Answers:
What about Cerebral Palsy?
It's an interesting case because you can be born with it or develop it later. You can also get around the disability through physical therapy and medication. I used to have classes at uni with a student who had cerebral palsy. There were actually a few of these students at my uni, one was studying sociology, one was doing biomedical science, and another was doing history. They were all in wheelchairs and some needed to type into a thing that talked, in order communicate.
Certainly a good example of a developmental disability that can affect the body but not the rational mind.... Which differs greatly from what people thought about Cerebral Palsy 10 or 20 years ago.
Cerebral Palsy, the one I got stuck with.
