She reached this height after having limb-lengthening surgery as a child, which helped her add over a foot to her height.Īs a mom, DiDonato told People it’s a struggle to keep up with her young, who is of average size, son and the new baby, but she makes it work by choosing her battles as a parent.
The married mom has diastrophic dysplasia and stands 4 feet 10 inches tall. In fact, she now has two children despite her rare form of dwarfism.
15įreelance writer and stay-at-home mom Tiffanie DiDonato doesn’t let being a little person slow her down. Many grace our TVs with their big personalities, and others are lesser known but their daily lives are no less interesting because we don’t get a glimpse into them weekly. While you might be surprised to learn that little people can birth genetic children both with dwarfism and without, it’s a scientific fact that is perfectly illustrated by these fifteen little people and their not-so-little families. Luckily, many people are open about their lives and are willing to share with anyone and everyone to inform and educate the general public. Whether they’re on the big screen or not, little peoples’ appearances alone invite questions and comments from strangers.
Maybe it’s the fact that little people have more challenges in life than the average person, but viewers are drawn to shows about their lives and anecdotes about their experiences. Learning about other people is one way to encourage inclusion and acceptance of diversity, and TV shows following the lives of little people are no exception. Between America’s love of cable TV and its tendency to be nosy about the ins and outs of other people’s lives, reality TV shows are huge winners in terms of audience engagement and social media followings.
