A goon from the Something Awful forums nicknamed BSG (also: “The Dwarf Knight”) was born with diastrophic dysplasia, a form of Dwarfism. He’s posted this great video to YouTube describing the gadgets and contraptions he uses to get dress every morning. It’s both fascinating to see the hassle he goes through to perform relatively basic tasks and entertaining to see what a good sense of humor he has about everything.
If you’re a goon and have access, BSG’s “Ask me about being a Dwarf/Crippled” thread in the Ask/Tell forum is a treat. Something Awful Forum]
