Dyspraxia - Blog Posts
I decided to write a bit about learning disabilities and my opinions on how they are handled in schools. I handwrote it as a demonstration of how my dysgraphia still affects my writing, but I also typed up a translation for anyone who might have trouble reading that.
when I get cured of my dyspraxia, it's OVER for all of you (satire)
Having an existential crisis over whether people love me or not when it's really just poor communication skills on my part due to dyspraxia and low self-esteem gaah
I was diagnosed with dyspraxia. A lot of people know it as the “clumsy disorder” but it’s a lot more and I think it has a lot to do with my speech.
It’s more then just the “clumsy disorder”. I’m more then clumsy. I have weak core muscles, I’m weak, I’m uncoordinated, I’m constantly running into things, I can’t grip a fork right, I spill food and get it all over myself
Yes, I’m clumsy, I drop things, spill things, etc. But it’s more then that. It affects me greatly and I think when people mark it just as “being clumsy” they are undermining a disorder that affects people greatly.
With my speech, I talk in a monotone, which is easier for me. I talk in simplified language and don’t use big words. I slur and stutter my words aswell,
I just realized this when I was talking about dyspraxia and I thought it’d be important to discuss.
Hi, you may or may not know i have austim with a possessing disorder as well as being diagnosed with adhd and dyspraxia, this means I have coordination issues and very little patiences for things when they don't go my way for the first time at least for me.
I've recently started to get more into makeup and I enjoy bold looks am I very good at them no but I enjoy them, I'm asking for any tips for eyeliner and wings as I don't wanna go and buy some liquid eyeliner as I have some of the gel pencil ones however I'm struggling to get a nice wing I have managed to sort of do one on one eye by drawing a line on my eye and useing some makeup remover to swip it into a nice sharp line but was unable to get similar results on the other eye.
Tips and help would be most appreciated
Includes genetic disorders, autism, adhd etc
As someone who is somewhat of a “veteran” of the online ND community, I’m disappointed in the lack of positivity and love for lesser known diverse cognitive conditions, and the opposing abundance of posts about “cures” or outdated criteria or treatments for those conditions. So, without further ado, I want to say hello to anyone with any of the disorders I’m listing, and give them the love and support that hardly anyone else in our community has… Shoutout to:
People with Down syndrome
People with Fragile X
People with William’s syndrome
People with dyslexia
People with dyspraxia
People with dyscalculia
People with dysgraphia
People with Prader-Willi syndrome
People with PANS or PANDAS
People with aphasia
People with a TBI (traumatic brain injury)
People with chronic/early onset mental illnesses
People with cerebral palsy
People with FASD or were otherwise disabled via other substances in utero
And many, many more I may have forgotten to list (but still support and love, I will add more to my list)
You are all beautiful and wonderful, and you all deserve so more love, appreciation, acceptance and support. You are just as neurodiverse as the rest of us, and your voices deserve to be heard and amplified.
I love you all ❤️
Husband with ADHD: Do you ever think you have ADHD too?
Me: No, why do you ask?
Husband: You have time management issues like me.
Me: I mean, yeah, but it's because I have dyspraxia. We're on the same venn diagram remember? We share some overlapping traits.
Husband: Oh, yeah. I forgot.
Me: We might both have time management issues, but for different reasons. Your brain has too many tabs open. If I am active and get things done for thirty minutes, I have to spend the next hour self-regulating and calming down my nervous system.
Me: My nervous system is like a trembling, overly excited Chihuahua.
