More Unique: Brent Hunter on living with a disability

by Kristina Chew, PhD on July 11th, 2007

Brent Hunter is a college student at Arizona State University. In My Turn: Redefinining Normal in the June 21st Newsweek, he describes his life with Arthrogryposis, a rare congenetial disorder that causes multiple joint contractures, and is characterized by muscle weakness and fibrosis. Says Hunter:

After experiencing what I have throughout my life, I have made peace with my disability. I know I am not an abnormal human being. I am just simply more unique, and this is how I live my life.

“More unique”: My son Charlie for sure.
