Winheld's World chronicles my daily experiences in living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, with which I was diagnosed when I was 4 1/2 years old, I have been in a motorized wheelchair since age 10. Now 30, I have been ventilator-dependent for nearly five years. Despite my disease, I have strived to live as normally as possible. I was mainstreamed in public schools, graduated college, and wrote an autobiography which was published last year. I'm currently working on my master's degree
