VIDEO: He Was Born with Upside-Down Head. Incredible Story!

When Claudio Vieira de Oliveira was born, the doctors told his mother to let him die. But the woman took her child home and dedicated her whole life to him. Claudio was born with a rare condition. His head rests backward on his spine and his limbs lay twisted under him. But now he’s 37 years old, he’s an accountant, public speaker and published writer. God bless him!

Resourceful Claudio Vieira de Oliveira knows more than a thing or two about overcoming adversity.
Medics told the now-37-year-old’s mother to let him starve to death after he was born with a rare condition of the joints that left him with severely deformed limbs … and an upside-down head.
But despite his physical limitations, Claudio, from Monte Santo, Brazil, has defied doctors’ doubts to become an accountant and inspirational public speaker.
Claudio types with a pen held in his mouth, operates phones and a computer mouse with his lips and has specially made shoes that allow him to shuffle around town.
His independence saw him succeeding at school and qualifying as an accountant from the State University of Feira de Santana.
When Claudio was born, doctors told his mother Maria Jose he would not be able to survive.
But there’s only happiness now. Claudio is just like any other person – that’s how he was raised in this house.
At eight years old, Claudio, who had previously been carried everywhere, began to walk on his knees.
His family had to change the floor of the house so he could walk around without injuring himself.
Claudio’s bed, plugs and lights had to be made lower so that he could do things for himself without asking for help.
He cannot use a wheelchair because of his unusual shape, making it hard for him to be independent outside the home – but he begged his mother to be allowed to go to school and learn with the other children.
Doctors have recently diagnosed him with a rare condition called congenital arthrogryposis.
They believe he has multiple joint contractions in his legs and arms which mean they cannot extend properly.
Claudio said: “Throughout my life I was able to adapt my body to the world. Right now, I don’t see myself as being different. I am a normal person.”
He is not the only person with the disease who has refuse to let it overcome his life.
In February, MailOnline told the story of Leanne Beetham who became a celebrated photographer and artist whose paintings of wildlife – which she creates by holding a paintbrush in her mouth – have sold for hundreds of pounds.
Miss Beetham, who has a degree in applied animal behaviour, uses paint and graphite to make her images, which can take more than eight hours to complete at a sitting.
In 2006 one of her paintings was sold for £750 at Christies in London in aid of the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation. Her exhibition last year in Hull raised money for the Withernsea RNLI, helping to replace equipment which had been stolen.
