Yeah I also have CP which is one of the reasons why I wear now. I asked the question because i don't understand why it had the calming effect that it has on me. I was late to get out of diapers due to surgeries and such I think I might have been 5 years old. After that I was punished with diapers a time or two and I hated it.
Years later and I still hated them but have started using them due to the CP and mobility issues. My family and fiancee say they have seen a difference in me since I started wearing pretty much all the time. The diapers have a calming effect on me. Now the little side of myself what there is I don't seem to understand either but I can be a good thing. I have not yet learned how to turn my little side on and off or how much of a little side I do have but I know it is there and it can have the same calming effect.
As I sit here at my computer in just a t-shirt and DEPEND (KLEENEX HUGGIES) diaper I feel calmed and comforted.
In real life I did not successfully daytime potty train until just after I was 4 years old.
Being also Autistic besides having Mild Cerebral Palsy, I was massively "difficult to potty train" by my Mom.
I mega resented having my diapers and plastic pants "taken away from me" and being forced into cotton training pants, and then regular underpants.
After going back to diapers 31 years ago, I have felt better.
My "clean and dry" period only lasted from age 4 to age 29.
I discovered "adult disposable diapers" in the drugstore, and I bought a package, because I had the urge/desire to "be a baby again" at age 29, because my Mom had been psychotic and nuts for so long, I needed to "escape" the hyper-torment of having to live under the same roof with her.
I took the plunge into infantile regression, and have not looked back since.
If I had not, I would have been in restraints and a padded room or worse, dead by my own hand.
