Living with Dwarfism

  People living with dwarfism suffer not only social stigma but also body/joint pains due to nerve compression.  Most of them are also unable to carry out normal and simple activities such as reaching for the faucet across the sink. They go through stuff many of us do not and will not understand.

  So, what is it like to live with dwarfism?

  Let's find out for ourselves! Follow the steps below:

  1. Put an object in the middle of the table
  2. Get on your knees
  3. Hold your elbows in close to your body
  4. Now, reach for the object without standing up or moving your upper arm.

  If you think that itself was difficult, think about how people suffering from dwarfism have to go through this and other as frustrating and inconvenient activities every single day.

  However, people with dwarfism are able to overcome this limitation and still continue living their lives as per normal. Here's a video that tells us about the life of someone with dwarfism:




 Hopefully, you've learnt something from this post! :)
