Years ago a child who had or could possibly have had Dwafism would have been put into a asylum because doctors didn't really understand or know how to treat a person with Dwarfism. However, people with Dwarfism are leading normal lives. They are accepted into society in every imaginable way. This includes going to school, having careers, getting married and even having children.
I see first hand how Dwarfs live and deal with everyday situations Because there are reality show that go deep into their lives. For example:Little People Big World and The Little Couple. You can find both shows on TLC.

Dwarfism isn't exactly noticable at birth, but a baby with dwarfism is usually smaller than a normal child both in length and weight. Dwarfism becomes more noticable over time.
Dwarfism is perminate and unlike other growing disorders a person cannot grow out of it. An average adult can grow to be four feet ten inches.

Dwarfism can be caused by an uncontrolable genetic mutation of gametes (sex cells). Or just by genes inherited from thir parents.
A person with dwarfism can have many types but the main types are: Proportional dwarfism and Unproportional dwarfism. A person with proportional dwarfism has relativly the same size body parts. But a person with unporportional dwarfism has some body parts that are bigger or smaller than other parts. For example, a average size upper body, long arms, short legs, and a large head.
Kenadie Jourdin-Bromley is an example of an unproportional dwarf.
Zach Roloff is an example of an Proportional Dwarf.

Have you ever thought to your self when you stood next to a really tall person ( someone 6ft or taller) and "Man i'm SHORT!!!!" How would you feel if that was you everyday. There are people in the world with a genetic disorder called Dwarfism.
An average person with Dwarfism doesn't usually grow over four feet ten inches.
Now how would you feel having to be the shortest of your friends, peers, co-workers, or your family?
Feel free to ask any questions about Dwarfism and I'll try to answer your question the best I can.
