To be honest, I'm just starting to grasp her condition. Like the doctor said, she may be the first human to develop it. Physically she doesn't appear to grow at all - and not just in a stature sense - but she also seems to show very little allometric (shape) growth. There is a little bit of allometric growth - which is why she looks like an abnormal 4-5 year old. However, they also said she hasn't aged mentally. It is a bizarre condition.
