How baby born with the upside-down head becomes motivational speaker - PHOTO

Medics told the now-37-year-old's mother to let him starve to death after he was born with a rare condition of the joints that left him with severely deformed limbs ... and an upside-down head.But despite his physical limitations, Claudio, from Monte Santo, Brazil, has defied doctors' doubts to become an accountant and inspirational public speaker.'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,' he said. '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.'His independence saw him succeeding at school and qualifying as an accountant from the State University of Feira de Santana.When Claudio was born, doctors told his mother Maria Jose he would not be able to survive.Maria Jose said: 'People started saying 'the baby is going to die' because he could barely breath when he was born.'Some people would say: 'Don't feed him, he is already dying'.
