Living with Dyspraxia & Dyslexia

12.06.17 - EP061

What do Daniel Radcliffe, Richard Branson, Cara Delevingne and Albert Einstein all have in common? They have all lived with Dyspraxia, otherwise known as Developmental Co-ordination Disorder, a condition that affects physical coordination in children and adults. We delve into the condition with our resident Psychologist Dr Audrey Tang, who gives us tips dealing with the condition and this week’s special guest, Ross Foad, who has suffered from Dyspraxia, amongst other mental health issues, since he was 11 years old shares his story.
Nutritionist Severine Menem gives us her tips on how nutrition can help with Dyspraxia, and associated conditions such as Dyslexia, but in fact these tips are also great for anybody looking to keep their brain active and healthy. She’ll also shows us a recipe for delicious cheesecake-stuffed strawberries. We also feature Share, a charity who offer training and employment support for disabled people, as our Good Cause of the Week, and Chrissy shares her own tips at the end of the show.

The Chrissy B Show airs on SKY 203 every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10pm in our cosy living room studio in the heart of London.

I enjoy this however you do need some sound deadening foam placed in the corner of your studio. It doesn't need to be attached.just place in a corner to stop the echo.

Great programme on Dyspraxia and the other 'Ds'. Dr. Audrey Tang made some really relevant and useful comments. I am pleased that there seems to be a growing focus on these life-long differences and difficulties.

The part where she says of the teacher "why haven't you done that" That is the typical face of the presenter of someone who really couldn't give a shit about "dumb people"- straight away the idea that a large proportion of dyspraxics are not dumb- that is the face of blanket and collective write-off- dyspraxic people do not suffer from anxiety- they suffer with humans... Hitler obviously had the right idea because society when it is not lying to the camera or to other workers would agree with his eugenic world view quite easy- the proof is that it was done before- not it is taboo- however fascism in the USA is no longer Taboo even though we were taught in school history classes that our values in the west are against everything fascism stands for- but instead we are sold this as propaganda while the government and so many agencies including employment networks is always moving to kill us off and make life harder- making a harder life as a defacto response by neurotypicals is fully gratuitous- when our life is already twice more difficult or even twice easier with 1% of support- without it our lives are 10 times harder- and with a nightmare family we can be completely written off for dead altogether why we are always told IT IS OUR FAULT- that is brainwashing propaganda- never fall into that pattern of believing that- Humans are evil and vindictive by nature- the best choice for someone with dyspraxia is to evade all people at all times because humans will only feign humanity for those who have visible physical adversity with their disability- as soon as it is invisible or non obvious such people are not only fair game- but made the direct target. It take a very very strong mind to realize that the whole world is wrong- we take the "scenic" route through life- truthfully what is meant is the cynic route- we can see everyone clearly for what they are if we choose to see it- LIARS TO THEMSELVES!!! many entrepreneurs are dyspraxic not out of choice but of necessity and they always end up giving up and not innovating anymore once they reach security- there is really no point helping so called humanity when there is no real humanity in the humans except for a very few. am 35 years old- I also have vaccine damage from 2001- it took me 15 years to figure it out until I was certain- and just recalling what happened was hard enough once I got around the vaccine autoimmune induced dysfunction caused gluten sensitivity- who knows if there another million out there- maybe its just 10.000? there is no science people who could give two monkeys to find out on the risk to their careers and reputation and stirring up a major medical and political controversy.
