Your child will lead a normal, wonderful life as long as you don’t remind him constantly that there’s something wrong with him because there is not a thing wrong with him. Both my son and daughter have CAH. My daughter is 23 and a graduate student and teaching assistant in computer science. Graduate school at one of the top graduate schools in computer science in the country is very stressful, but she is getting through it without any problems. She’s a summa cum laude college graduate and a Phi Beta Kappa. She took dance classes since she was 3 years old and in high school took 3 or 4 classes a week in addition to taking a very demanding high school AP course load. She actually has less sick days than people without CAH. She travels for her summer job and has accomplishes everything she sets out to do. My son is 17 and in the top 10% of his high school class. He too takes a demanding AP course load  and had perfect attendance this school year that just ended. He also has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (not related in any way to CAH) and is confined to a wheelchair. Two years ago he had an 8 hour operation to fuse his spine and insert a rod in his back for complications from the muscular dystrophy. This had nothing to do with CAH! He recovered from the surgery in record time (faster than any of his doctor’s many patients getting this surgery including people without any other medical problems). His CAH is just not that important in comparision to all the problems he faces due to the muscular dystrophy. The CAH has never controlled or limited his or my daughter’s lives, but the muscular dystrophy has limited  my son’s  life and controls what he can do with his life. In fact, the muscular dystrophy limits both my husband’s and my life because of the constant help my son needs from the disabling effects of the muscular dystrophy. Our children’s CAH has never limited our lives at all.
