The Tallest Kid in the World (A 10-Year-Old with Gigantism)

Jase is diagnosed with gigantism and is the tallest kid in the world. At 10-years-old he is already 6'3". He loves to dominate in sports against his peers while standing tall above everyone else. Jase wants others to know that it is okay to embrace yourself exactly as you are.

[@greego5952]

The thing that bugs me about being tall is that you're almost expected and pushed on by society to play basketball. Like depending on what family you're born into, being tall automatically means that you're going to be playing basketball. And those types of people raised with that mindset then proceed to ask me "do you play basketball." Where I then ask "Do you play basketball?" They say no, I say back to them "I don't either, that makes two of us. I'm tall, not a jock."

[@arantirflamango8118]

So awesome, I had to remind myself that that was quite funny and straight answer for 10 year old😮

[@junbh2]

​@@greego5952The basketball talk wasn't that serious, (or maybe it is in his head because he's a little kid). He also says he's slower than other kids and can't run as fast. He isn't just tall, he has other health problems and other than being very large and strong for his age, doesn't seem to be particularly athletic in other ways.

There should be more regulations regarding aceaaibility to tall people, and when I mean tall, I mean tall like him and my patient

[@louise8752]

His condition could possibly qualify him as a disabled individual depending on the limitations his condition creates to his daily life. Also, if not now, perhaps in the future depending. If it affects his ability to access academic setting, I would expect he could receive accommodations through his school district. I wonder if the family have looked into this with his doctors and elementary school. @@umi2751

I’m so glad he had a much more positive mindset to being tall. I am just shy of 7’2 and I was about two inches shorter than him at his age. No gigantism on my end but I was subject to the teasing and bullying that came with it. So glad he has a positive outlook on life at such a young age!

So he has publc tantrums n meltdowns..he touches things in stores sometimes that hes not supposed to..he doesn't talk in full sentences n sometimes just points n makes noises..he has a hard time controlling the volume of his voice etc. He has absolutely no physical abnormalities so just looking at him you would never know anything is wrong with him. He looks like a "normal 11yo" Ive gotten the worst looks n comments in public n have gotten into verbal altercations with ppl bc they have made comments abt him or my parenting.The world is so harsh.

This is totally different. You're allowing your kid to be bad because he has autism comparing it to a 3 year old looking like a 10 year old. My brother has severe autism and gets disciplined and acts right. Don't make excuses. Be better.

My son does NOT have any forms of gigantism, he just has really tall genes. I am 6’5” & dad is 6’2”. But my husband had an uncle that was 7’ tall. Our geneticist thinks Kota will be around 6’9-7’0 tall. He was a big baby too, born premature at 32 weeks & he was 6lbs 11oz & 19” long. My son is the sweetest kid, he gets treated like a teenager all the time, and when we tell people that he is only 10, they think we are lying. We’ve even been asked for his birth certificate when we went into an amusement park. It’s impossible for him to wear what other kids his age are wearing because he is sooo big.

I'm 7'1.5, and a bodybuilder. It's true, man, you can do whatever you put your mind to. People used to put me down all the time because I had such a large frame to fill out, but I did. Don't get discouraged and just go for your dreams. That being said, I do want to give a warning, being 7 feet tall is not as fantastic as you would think. There are a lot of difficulties in everyday life that you and others don't account for. Think of everything you already struggle with and multiply it by 10x. Driving, flying, showers, toilet seats, chairs, clothing, hobbies, etc. just get that much more difficult. You will realize this once you hit around 6'6 or 6'8 depending on the shoes you wear. It becomes a whole different ball game when you can't just walk through doors.

​@@TabeaSerenetyHe is definitely heavy set. I dont have gigantism but I am 6'7 and I never carried such weight when I was 10. I understand the increased hunger or whatever but proteins, greens and vegetables satiate much better than McDonalds without packing on lbs like nothing.

[@TheAwkRobot1997]

He is so sweet and confident- kudos to his family for raising him to love himself. As someone with the opposite condition, I have dwarfism, it’s so cool seeing how people with gigantism perceive the world and what adaptations they need themselves. (I’m 3’5”, 104cm tall.)

I was an extremely small baby being born in the UK premature at just over 6 months back in 1963 when my mother was dying due to her kidneys failing. I was induced not expected to survive, I was in an incubator for about 4 months but my mother being relieved of my body ensured her kidneys were able to work again. I was 3 lb and remained quite small being just over 5 ft at 15 years old. My shoe size was UK 12. I stopped growing at 19 when I reached 6 ft 4" with shoe size UK 14. My father's brother all his family were over six foot His daughter was 6 ft 1. His sons were 6ft 2", 6ft 4" and 6 ft 8" Tallest in my class was a boy 6ft 9" at 17 years of age.

[@sharynmain2432]

It just goes to show you.. it is not over until… it’s over. Starting earlier in life at such a light weight and exceeding at the outcome. A lot of premature babies tend to lean towards smaller in size along with on going issues as they age, according to medical information. Maybe your genes outweighed the results since you have a predisposed indication of taller heights in your family origin? Quite a feat… as long as people get to have a relatively healthy life - is all one can ask for. Glad that you mother and yourself defied the odds. 😊

Being tall actually doesn't matter. You love yourself for who you are. I almost took my own life away because I had no confidence or self-esteem. I remember seeing this man while I was dying. Not a real person or anything like in a dream. It's very hard to explain, but after that, I've been more grateful about even being alive.

I don't think he realizes his strength. Parents and future coaches need to make him aware

[@rubenruiz5809]

He definitely realizes his strength, if anything he needs to be humbled - 47 year old man

[@hilaryb8807]

I agree. I think it’s dangerous to let him play with other 10 year olds, who average 4’6 and 70 lbs. since his body is continuously growing, his awareness of where his body is in space continuously changing. Paired with the impulse control and decision making skills of a 10 year old brain, he could unintentionally seriously injure someone. I wouldn’t want this sweet boy to have to go through that, he’d be absolutely devastated if he accidentally hurt another child.

He's sweet with his granny. I think that's encouraging. He's just ten, and he knows he's 'odd' and that people stare at him all the time, that he can't run fast, that he will need surgery... a lot of things about it are negative so it's natural that he wants to focus on some of the things that actually are positive. Plus, he's ten. Ten year olds aren't really meant to be super mature yet ;).

I worked with some sisters who both had gigantism (they were CNA’s and all the elderly people loved them in the nursing home we worked in) and their little brother did as well. He was the biggest and well over 7ft tall. He was known as the gentle giant. He was so sweet. They all were. Sadly they all passed away within 5 years of each other in their late twenties and thirties. Miss them all. The whole family was quite large. And all amazing. Miss them all as they all have passed away now. I am so glad you are able to remove the pituitary gland and hopefully that will help him live a long healthy life.
