An autistic woman with hypermobile joints functions just like a living, breathing Betty Spaghetty doll, it has been reported.
Natasha Weaving, 32, boasts the unique ability to partially dislocate her arms, legs, elbow and shoulder at any time of the day, with painful yet ultimately so-satisfying clicks.
“I’m basically a real-life Betty with built-in screaming feature. Except you probably shouldn’t let me wear rollerblades,” Weaving admitted. “In fact, you should probably leave me in my box to start with.”
Weaving said: “Best part is, you never know when the joints will pop out. But it’ll almost definitely be during the height of sex, or when I’m just about to go to sleep.”
Weaving’s girlfriend Megan Aldrich, 36, said: “She’s truly one of a kind. And not just because she comes with cool accessories, like a hot water bottle and finger splints. There’s also a set of accompanying characters, like doctors that don’t believe her.”
According to loved ones, Weaving is said to be “the very spit” of Betty – if Betty herself had no style and no friends.
