I take it you don't watch "Little People, Big World?"

Achondroplasia is a type of dwarfism. Character traits are short stature, large head and disproportionately short legs and arms and a large prominent foreheard..

Yes, I gathered that it was a type of dwarfism -- as stated in the article.  ;-)  No, I don't watch "Little People, Big World", although my wife does sometimes.

The teenage girl in that article doesn't look like most of the dwarfs that I've seen.  Based upon the images in that article, her proportions seem to be no more than scaled-down from the proportions of an average person, with the head perhaps a bit bigger in proportion to the rest of her body.  She really is tiny, and in a way that I've never seen before.  If I were to meet her in person, then my first reaction would likely be to think that she was an infant, or else a small toddler.  Certainly not a teenage girl.
