  • Re: 20/20 Special: Overcoming Social Stigma of Albinism (What Are Your Thoughts)

    The 20/20 special was very well done. But I would not have put so much emphasis on entertainers being the only example of albinos being successful. Most of us don't end up as entertainers.

  • Married to Person with Albinism

    Hi, I've just joined the forum and I didnt see any specific place for people married to someone with albinism.
