They can work. My son battles with manual things as he can't use his left hand much but I'm sure he could do anything that he puts his mind to. He doesn't let his disease run his life, he runs his disease.

I worked until I was 27. I did everything from being a nanny, driving trucks, and assistant manager. No, I didn’t make the wisest decision by choosing driving trucks, but it was my dream and I did it. Not very long because of my neck, but I went to school and drove 18 wheelers over the road for nearly a year. When I faced becoming paralyzed at 15 years old, I knew I had to live my life to the fullest. After retiring I’ve done a lot of volunteer work. They are much more understanding when you can’t go because of falll risks or too much pain. Bottom line do what’s in your heart and don’t let birth defect define you.

Yes, some people can. Some can have all kinds of work. Ordinary life’s. Some cannot because of too much pain.
