'My life with microcephaly'

Robin was born 18 years ago with the microcephaly. Microcephaly is a rare neurological condition where children have smaller-than-average heads.

A rise in cases in South America has been linked to the Zika virus. More than 4,000 babies in Brazil have been born with microcephaly since October.

Robin said that his microcephaly causes him to have "constant headaches" and learning difficulties but that he feels "the same as everyone else".
