Goodness, I'm being contrary these days!  I beg to differ - CP is NOT a 
disease, it's a condition.  To me, a "disease" implies an infection or a 
progressive er ... disease that worsens with time.  To imply that CP is 
a disease, to me, stigmatizes it and belies the fact that it's not 
contagious, not is it on infection.  It's simply the result of injury to 
the brain.   I don't think anyone calls spinal cord injury or stroke 
diseases.  At least I don't.
