Hi Noelle,

 

    Rob here, another Achon, or Achondroplasia Dwarf, I too am at 4'2", as I've lost 4" from surgeries on my back and spine. But you aren't alone, there are hundreds of thousands of us out there, and here, and all over. Depending on what website you use, you can find most of us out there. If you haven't already looked, try www.LPAOnline.org or www.dwarfism.org for information on dwarfism and the groups that are out there. I for one am a member of Little People of America, and have found a great comfort in it's help with my life. You're lucky, as having that plus that allot of us don't have, as your father is Achon like yourself, making it helpful in solutions to your height. Both of my parents were Average Height, so were my siblings, so nobody really understood my needs that much. But joining LPA at 18 helped them understand a little more about my needs, the only trouble was I left and didn't come back, and yes I have visited since, but what I mean is that I moved out, clear across to the other side of the country, so I'm not down the street. Anyway, if you want to chat, give me a holler, yell, or email, lol.

 

Rob
