9. Being a Little Person
Leading up to her birth and right after, Jen Arnold’s parents had no indication their daughter had any health problems. While immediately after her birth it was obvious something was wrong, no one was sure what exactly that meant, and it wasn’t until Jen was just over a year old that her parents took to her to the Moore Clinic where she was finally diagnosed with SED. Arnold was diagnosed with spondyloepohyseal dysplasia, type Strudwick, signifying her specific type of dwarfism, and despite her harrowing beginnings, Arnold has always been optimistic. “I wasn’t unhappy being a Little Person. Being a Little Person has always been and will always be normal to me. Even at a young age, I was used to the challenge of being a Little Person in an average-sized world […] My parents always reminded me to count my blessings ad be grateful for the things that were good in my life,” she wrote in her book she co-authored with her husband.
