Thanks for sharing your personal experience and raising awareness of this silent disorder. Dyspraxia, even in the medical and educational fields, is something I find myself explaining again and again. My daughter has Rett Syndrome which causes all sorts of super shitty things. Her severe dyspraxia is up there as one of the worst. It’s so bad that she can no longer talk and has significant physical disabilities. She uses a Tobii Dynavox eye-gaze device to communicate (she’s super smart) but even with that, it’s really difficult for her. Sometimes she says yes when she means no. It’s heartbreaking. But like you, I am sure she will continue to overcome many obstacles and will likely be a writer when she grows up (she is 9). I wonder if there’s a correlation between dyspraxia and creativity?
