Max's disease in Freak the Mighty is he isn't good around other people and didn't like being touched by other people. Actually. Max doesn't rlly have a disease, its Freak who has a BIG disease....Max...
Freak has Morquio Syndrome and your parents (both) have to pass it down. Max has a learning disability and you get that when an unknown factor or factors affect your brain, I think at birth.
