TOUCHING ! A 19 YEAR OLD INDIAN GIRL TRAPPED IN THE BODY OF A 2 YEAR OLD

Ajifa an Indian girl  looks like a toddler, she is in fact 19, having stopped growing just before her second birthday.
Ajifa weighs just 1st 3lbs, and still needs to be spoon-fed and carried everywhere by her mother Apila, 42.

Doctors told her mother and father, Sekh, 52, that Ajifa would start growing again.
Scientists believe that Ajifa could have Laron Syndrome, a rare genetic condition, which is believed to have affected just 300 people across the globe - with a third of them living in in remote villages in Ecuador’s southern Loja province.
People living with Laron lack a hormone called Insulin-like Growth Factor 1, or IGF-1, which stimulates the cell to grow and divide to form new cells.
 Ajifa's younger sisters Rini, 17, Rabiya, 14, and brother Danish, eight, now tower over her, while her vocabulary extends only to 'maa', for mother, 'baba' for father, and 'didi' for sister.
