What Is Muscular Dystrophy?
According to the Mayo Clinic website, Muscular Dystrophy is a group of diseases. Those who are affected experience progressive weakness and muscle mass loss. Patients with the disease will have abnormal genes (mutations) that interfere with producing proteins required to form healthy muscle. There are various types of muscular Dystrophy. While the most common form of the disease appears in childhood, other types appear only in adulthood. While medications and therapy can help manage symptoms and slow the progression of the disease, there is no cure.

He continued by saying, "For example, he uses a battery-powered wheelchair, and there are no separate pathways for him to commute on the roads." In the end, he shared what he felt. "Here, in the US, he studies animation in college and can do his tasks without much hindrance."
