Is Cerebral Palsy Good or Bad?

Yesterday, my dad and I were discussing whether C.P. is a good or bad thing. In the main, I don't really look at my C.P. as being a bad thing because it could be a lot worse than it is now. I don't think my dad looks at it in the same way, we were watching a YouTube video about another person's C.P. and it drew some questions. I wondered if I would take a medication so I would be able-bodied (if it were available), and after I had thought about it for a minute, I said that I didn't think I would. There are a lot of reasons why I said that, but the main reason is that my C.P. has become a part of me. From my involuntary movements to my inability to walk unaided, it is all part of me.

Yes, if I didn't have C.P., I would be able to do anything that an able-bodied person is able to do, but I have accepted my disability as part of who I am, and in the main I am happy with that. There are times when I wish I didn't have a disability because I think it would make my and my parent's lives a bit more easier, simpler and less daunting, but oh well, what will be will be.
