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.
