I was thinking about all the various "Little People" shows on tv right now and not only do I not know a single little person, short of circus performers I've only seen maybe 2 or 3 little people in public in my adult life. how about you?
shareMy friend's granddaughter is a LP. She is a beautiful young woman with a great personality. I only see her once a year when she comes to visit her grandmother so I don't know her that well but I like her.
shareI don't know any.
shareI have met one person that was a LP before, but I don't see that person ever, so I don't really know any.
shareInterestingly enough, in my moderately-sized high school, there were two achon females, two grades ahead of me. One had mild-impairments, which I'm not sure were due to achondroplasia or not. (Like if she had hydrocephalus--common in achondroplasia--that wasn't treated in time and caused damage.) The other girl was one heck of a talented cheerleader. She was on the squad, and it was no pity-acceptance; she did back-hand springs better than most. I've never seen her on Facebook, otherwise I'd add her.
I've had relatives who have met some of the Roloffs ("Little People, Big World") because their farm is pretty close to where they live. Even I live only about an hour and a half from there, but I've never been.
My grandpa had a little person cousin, but ai never met him. Ocassionally, I have seen LPs in daily life beside seeing those two students almost daily for two years. Maybe seeing them regularly is why I hardly take notice of LPs when I've seen them. When I watch these reality shows, I definitely forget they're LPs.
