Spina bifida in adults
Most of the disabilities and symptoms of spina bifida are known in children. Drugs, walking aids, therapies, and coping mechanisms are usually in place. In most cases, children with this condition grow up to excel in college and their carriers. Some may also leave independently.
However, adults with spina bifida may experience ongoing medical conditions throughout their life. People with the condition may also struggle in social gatherings due to stigma and may find it difficult to find careers that fit their disabilities. A good support system can help manage the stress and social negative effects of the condition.
