We ask the question in this episode - can we change society's view of our form of Dwarfism? Kim is joined by four Russell Silver Syndrome people to discuss questions including: Do you think it is important TARSS take part in trying to change the view many in society have of people with dwarfism/short stature? What term do we find completely unacceptable in regards to terms people think of or say to people with short stature? How do we identify ourselves? Is this podcast series a positive proactive way to inform and educate people about RSS in particular?

Kim is joined for this episode by her parents as they discuss how they coped as parents of a child with Russell Silver Syndrome (RSS) born when knowledge of the syndrome was far more limited than it is in recent years.

They will recount memories of Kim's childhood that they feel shows her personality and independence. Do they have any regrets with the choices they made for their daughter?
