I appreciate that the article names her dwarfism as Achondroplasia, but it seems hard to accept. She doesn't have the typical facial features or the disproportionate limbs. Also a little checking on the internet suggests that the typical height of someone with Achondroplasia is 4 foot.
I admit I made my own diagnosis based on her proportionate stature and diminutive height. However I'm willing to accept I was wrong, as she seems confident of a long life and would surely have been advised otherwise if she had Primordial Dwarfism. I wouldn't be confident about her ability to bear children however, pureply from a logistics point of view.
