“Throughout my life I was able to adapt my body to the world. Right now, I don’t see myself as being different.”
This is 37-year-old Claudio Vieira de Oliveira.
The Brazilian is thought to suffer from congenital arthrogryposis, a condition which causes curved joints, resulting in his head being permanently twisted back over his neck.

According to Barcroft Media, when he was a child doctors told his mother to stop feeding him as it was thought he had no chance of survival.
However Claudio has overcome immense odds to become a public speaker and graduate as an accountant from the State University of Feira de Santana.

“Since I was a child I've always liked to keep myself busy and work - I don't like to depend totally on other people,” the Daily Mail quotes the graduate from Monte Santo as saying.
"I do a bit of accounting, research for clients and consulting.
"I have learned to turn on the TV, pick up my cell phone, turn on the radio, use the internet, my computer - I do it all by myself."

Claudio says he does not see himself as being different, claiming: "I am a normal person."
