I am 22 years old, in a wheelchair because of Duchennes Muscular Dystrophy (Duchenne MD is the most common form of MD and primarily affects boys. It is caused by the absence of dystrophin, a protein involved in maintaining the integrity of muscle. Onset is between 3 and 5 years and the disorder progresses rapidly. Most boys are unable to walk by age 12, and later need a respirator to breathe). i am a sweet, silly, creative, hopeless romantic, caring,fun loving, thoughtful, loyal, loving, imaginative, i sometimes make a complete fool of myself which ends up in either me getting in trouble, alienating friends, or my heart getting broken. But if you don't take risks in life whats the use of living. I am a extremely mentally strong guy because of my being in a wheelchair since 5th grade and have learned ignore mean, hurtful, and ignorant comments because i am who i am so you can f--k off if you don't like.
