Wanton Forces of Cute
My nieces, Abby and Becca
I come from a very interesting family. I have achondroplastic
dwarfism. I was also diagnosed with a mild, non-progressive form of
hydrocephalus quite a few years ago. My niece, Abby, is autistic. Her
father, my brother-in-law, has Tourette's Syndrome. Many of my friends
also have disabilities. As a psychiatrist, I specialize in seeing people
with chronic mental illnesses. Below are the links I feel are
particularly relevant to the disabilities I am closest to. Oh yeah, I'm
also a geneticist so I threw in a link to the OMIM page.
