My son has Prader willi Syndrome. He is short in stature and overweight due to his condition. I was hoping to find resources in clothing for him.
Hi
I’m Jo, I live in Perth West Australia. I have Achonroplasia and am older than 21 by quite a few years now, and am happy to help answer any questions from parents of short stature children.
I hope to get to know a few of you here.

Hi Everyone…
When I was young I asked my mother, why do people stare at me, why do they laugh, why do they nudge at each other when i pass by…Am i different than others. She used to say…You are Special! As I was growing older i began to realize that i was slow in growth, my limbs were short…This time I realized the truth, so I asked my mom why am I different than others, her answer was ‘God took his own time for you and created you in a special mould.’
I still believe those words!
I would like to meet people with the same condition and share experiences…trust me I have loads to tell…
