I myself was born without my right hand. My mom says the Doctor said I push my hand against her stomach and for some reason with did not form. And I usually say it’s my arm, stump, or just my lil hand lol. But I’m open to explaining and to showing it more than how I was as a teenager. Growing up was hard but I still kept on going and trying anything.
I've watched you from your early vids. They're entertaining and it's great that your influence is expanding so much in a short amount of time. You'll be over 3K subscribers soon. I can't wait to see what it'll be by the end of September. Cheers to all
I was born with a very short forearm below my elbow, like 3 or maybe 4 inches. I just call it my paw, some of my friends call it a nub. After 33 years, I am used to people calling it just about anything, but stump is my least favorite.
My sister was born with a limb deficiency of her left forearm, about 2 inches past the elbow. One of her junior high teachers told her the only way it could have happened is if our mom was on drugs during her pregnancy. I didn't hear about this until several years after it happened or I would have kicked his ass. Not only is that factually wrong, and I mean very wrong, but it was vicious slander against our mother, and greatly upset my sister. She never believed it because she knew way more about the condition than this third rate piss ant small town Wyoming science teacher, but to have a guy tell the whole class that "Yeah, you're missing an arm because your mom's a junkie" is way over the line even if it were possible. As for my sister, she has never treated the condition as a disability, and there are very, very few things that a person with two hands can do that she can't. Half the time we all forget she only has 1 arm.

I have amniotic band syndrome, missing fingers and toes. Hope more people know this condition!
absolutely!!! that's what the doctors think happened to me too, but they aren't 100% sure :)

Absolutely! It’s amazing how our language is so personal to us!
Congenital limb deficiency, both arms above elbows and left leg above knee. My arms and leg!
Jodie Elizabeth thank you!!!!!!!
As a bilateral amputee with two prosthetic legs most people are more curious about my 'robot' legs.
Amputee_Basics absolutely :)
