 ‘Having Dwarfism, one thing that I’ve found the most challenging growing up, is truly being able to communicate or explain what it is like to live with the condition. Being born with ‘Achondroplasia’- has made me have to think about things in ways no one around me needed to. It’s highlighted things which to others, get no second thought, and its created challenges in things most do with such ease. Whilst I do not feel bitter towards my condition- I’ve created ‘Short Perspectives’ to louden the voices on the challenges that sit within it, so that others can improve in their awareness and understanding. Short Perspectives is not to be seen as a negative- or a platform for life’s problems, but instead as a toolkit, that we can now tackle those ‘problems’ together’.

So, in other words- I'm short! Achondroplasia is the most common form of dwarfism and is known as short limb dwarfism. Meaning my torso- is very similar to that of yours! But my limbs are short- this means that at 23 years old, I stand at the same height as your average six-year-old. Whilst there are many additional health conditions and possible occurring issues caused by having Achondroplasia- The key thing is. I’m just short.    I grew up in an average height world- there is no one else in my family with the condition, and this meant as a child- I just did wha
