Toddler with no legs defies rare condition by showcasing handstands and flips
- 2 years ago
Meet the toddler who has defied a super-rare condition only seen fifty times before and born with no legs - who now does handstands and flips.
Three-year-old Oliver Buckingham was diagnosed with a genetic disorder sacral agenesis - where his lower spine didn't develop properly.
But he also has Baraitser-Winter Syndrome which affects his brain and face - and only 50 people have been diagnosed with.
He is missing both legs, has structural issues with his jaw, is hard of hearing in one ear and nonverbal.
But, when he was only a year-and-a-half, Oliver could hold himself upright and move around with his arms by himself.
Doctors questioned how he would develop - but now loves nothing more than doing flips and handstands.
