Fanfiction has made me strange. I read this while on the ucp website looking for something on the new meds I'm taking. Right away I wove William Little into Spike's back-story an uncle or his father maybe.
History
In the 1860s, an English surgeon named William Little wrote the first medical descriptions of a puzzling disorder that affected children in the first years of life, causing stiff, spastic muscles in their legs and to a lesser degree, their arms. These children had difficulty grasping objects, crawling, and walking. They did not get better as they grew up nor did they become worse. Their condition, which was called Little's disease for many years, is now known as spastic diplegia. It is one of several disorders that affect control of movement due to developmental brain injury and are grouped together under the term cerebral palsy.
Little would be a name that Spike would really want to ditch don't you think?
