I was born with a disorder known as Neurofibromatosis (NF) 1. As an infant, I had a malformed hip socket, which required the wearing of a brace and corrective shoes. The telltale signs of the bumps, known as neurofibromas, began to manifest themselves early on as did the café-au-lait spots. I also experienced problems with my back, which was eventually determined to be a curve in several places, which caused mobility problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, I had to deal with the problem of being teased (bullied) by children in my school. Even though this teasing hurt me, my parents had taught me a lesson that has followed me my entire life. God doesn't make mistakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NF journey is different for each person who is placed on the NF Road. My NF journey is my own, and so are those journeys of fellow travelers. I hope to be an encouragement to parents and to children who, by no choice of their own, have undertaken that same journey. By the grace of God, I desire to share my journey with you and to be an encouragement through the written word.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46456828854423,"sku":"9781937925284","price":1482.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781937925284.webp?v=1769179594","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/best-friends-and-bullies-an-inspiring-story-about-a-girls-disability-9781937925284","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
