He was replying to the original poster, not you, Bob.  He was objecting to the use of 'suffering from CP.'

Feel free to call me whatever you want.   It has been
over 40 years since I have heard the term "suffering
with"  cerebral palsy used by consumers or anybody
close.  I am ordinarily unconcerned with politically
correct language, but "suffering with" ranks right up
there with "afflicted with" and "a cripple" as
language that marks an outsider - or worse.

If your daughter is actually a CP, for her sake I urge
you to purge those words from your vocabulary & from
your mind.
