Answer #1

Just being short does not make you a little person… so no… you missed the last part of the definition ‘whose stature is attributed to one of at least 200 medical conditions that cause dwarfism’

Answer #2

I was told 4’11 too my most people…and others below..I don’t know :/ it would feel somewhat awkward to b telling folks yep im a midget lol

Answer #3

I googled it and it said that 4’ 11 and under is legally a midget. It may not be right… But that’s what I got.

Answer #4

The standard definition of dwarfism includes anyone 4-foot-10 or smaller whose stature is attributed to one of at least 200 medical conditions that cause dwarfism.
