I'd like to know more about Achondroplasia (a common type of Dwarfism). Is there a forum online?

I'd especially like to know more about the emotional aspects, as well as adjustments needed around the home.

try www.webmd.com alot of answers are there. if that doesnt help go to your local hospital and ask where you may find info on it, and if there is support groups in your area for it. good luck

Some of these sites might help you..............
