Just wanted to add another spoon to the pot... When I first started learning about CAH, I read somewhere that it should be referred to as an disorder. The thought process was something like this: 1. When talking about a disease, people often think that it can be cured (fixed), it is progessive, it is fatel. 2. With a condition, it is often thought to be temporary, e.g. pregnancy is a condition. 3. A disorder implies that something isn't working right. Personally, I don't think it matters too much if CAH is referred to as a condition or a disorder. I tend to use disorder.
