I'm always impressed when I see people overcome adversity and just get on with their lives, and these two are definitely something.

It's good that they seem so well accepted by their community. I would think they had to overcome a lot of taunting from the kids when they were younger. They also seem very well-adjusted with having school and a job and interests that they both enjoy. I always find it amazing that people can overcome this kind of adversity while other "normal" people complain about the life they have - my brother, for one!

Go girls!!!

wow thats incredible marcella Smile

there was a fascinating documentary on channel4 last night that fits in well with this thread, called the smallest people in the world, about primordial dwarfs - i think they said theres only a hundred of them in the world

Quote:

Picture: from programme one: Bri – aged 16 (left), Callum – her cousin aged 22 months (middle, not a Primordial dwarf), Bradley (right) – Bri's brother aged 14.

The Smallest People in the World is the moving story of five remarkable American children – Danny, Hannah, Kristen, Bradley and Bri – who are Primordial dwarfs, the smallest and rarest type of dwarf in the world.

physically or legally? Legally she would just need a restriction on her license stating she must have an automatic transmission.

Physically ... she is probably a better driver than someone with a cell phone up to their ear or eating their egg mcmuffin on the way to work.

I'm trying to imagine how she could drive, but it's not making any sense!

Amazing...I often wonder how I would cope with something like that.
