Kat, 

Perfect sense; the things that I described as my "coping mechanisms" can
be used by anyone, whether they have any type of disability, or whether
they are "normal," which even if I knew what it was, I don't think I'd
want to be.

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.
-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950

OK I guess this is where you and I differ.  I don't see CP as something
I
have to work hard to cope with as it's always been a part of me.  It's
as
natural to me as is breathing.

The stresses of life, yes.  I mean, job stresses are out there for me
just
as they are for anyone else. And yes, I have to cope with getting older,
but everyone does.  I honestly don't see CP as something to 'cope with.'

The affects, such as stiffness and joint pain, but not CP itself.  Hope
I'm
aaking sense, everyone.

Kat

What are you asking here KJ? Are you asking how we all cope with
having CP?
