Like you're talking to a person like a stranger!

I just told her, like,  "Yeah, you were born different.

"That's just who you are."  And she owns it Mm-hm.

I like to do YouTube videos for my fans because I love them, I guess.

In her case, like, we don't put any fear into her

or, like explain what progeria is or even say the word progeria.

We just treat her like a normal ten-year-old,

You're welcome. She sees herself as being different.

There are days where she goes,  "I wish I had hair,

but then she goes and says,  "Who needs hair anyways?

I like to do make-up. I like to play barbies. I like to play on my phone. I like, definitely, definitely, like to watch videos.

But sometimes I get a little grumpy so I guess not, but...

But... I basically like everything. Unicorns are my favorite, I guess, cause they're pretty, sparkly, pink.

You tell him.  What do you want me to tell him?

It can be hard some days, especially at night.

When everybody goes to sleep  and, you know,

Adalia Rose has a rare genetic disorder which affects less than 500 people worldwide.

Adalia has a rare ageing   disorder called progeria.

Everybody makes progerin,   it's what makes you age,

and she just makes a lot of it,   so that's what makes her age faster.

In addition to premature ageing, some of the additional symptoms are limited growth, lack of body fat and muscle, loss of hair, visible veins, abnormal facial features, high-pitched voice and stiffness in joints.

I think this is   called Pop-Up Camper...

Statistically, most children with Progeria don't live past 13-year-old.

or any possibility of this could happen or that could happen to her.

I mean, anything can happen to   anyone, right? Exactly, yeah.

Tomorrow is a special day for Adalia. Tomorrow she turns 11.

What! The days are going so by, like fast.

I'm very excited. I can't wait to open my presents.

Despite the difficulties she faces, Adalia is an internet superstar.

# Getting all this money, stacking   dollars, stacking cents... #

Well, in the beginning   when we first started her Facebook,

She has, like, 14 million   people on her Facebook

I definitely think it's fair to   describe Adalia as a diva.

People have been asking   about Adalia's eye.

She's very   self-conscious about it, but...

So, surfer's eye, it's basically  like scar tissue forming

Having a social media   superstar 11-year-old is crazy,

especially when we're out   in public, you know.

They say good things to her all   the time. They love all your videos.

There's constant comments of   how she's inspirational

and how she doesn't let anything   stop her.

And every time she hears those   things, it makes her really happy.

There you go. Are you really going   to film me blowing my nose?
