I need to know what disease this is, please help.?

Question

I saw this girl at school, and she was from the special ed department. At first it, all I saw was a motorized wheelchair, and it looked like it was moving on its own. But in the seat was what looked like a baby. Only she wasn't a baby. I was told she was around my age, but she looked like an infant. Can someone please tell me what her condition is?

Answer 1

if she is quite tiny and fragile,she may have osteogenesis imperfecta(latin for-imperfect making of bones)if this is the case,her bones are small and fragile and prone to repeated breaks from things that would not even bruise a person who doesnt have the disease.i had a wonderful friend with this illness,she was in college and she had a job.a really amazing girl.so,maybe befriend ur fellow student,say hi.im sure she'd appreciate being treated like the other students,and u could make a new friend!!! of course,it may be another illness altogether,but my friend did fit this description.

Answer 2

it is probably primordial dwarfism, which is a severe type of dwarfism that affects less than 200 people in the entire world. The person will look significantly smaller than their age and will usually weigh less than 4 pounds at birth... Whether or not this is it... say hello to her... i'm sure she would really appreciate that

Answer 3

Probably dwarfism. I went to camp with a girl who looked like she was 5 years old, but she was my age (13 at the time).

Answer 4

Why don't you ask her? Talk to her, and you might actually make a new friend and learn something?

And it sounds like it could be a form of dwarfism or Progeria.

Answer 5

A severe case of dwarfism, maybe?

Answer 6

Probably dwarfism.
