Dyspraxia Explained

Here is a brief explanation of dyspraxia, also known as a developmental coordination disorder. This condition affects motor and coordination skills, causing symptoms such as spilling or breaking things. While it is possible to improve coordination skills with dyspraxia, it is a lifelong condition that does not go away.

Thank you for this! I have dyslexia, dycalcula and dysgraphia but struggle with things like folding clothes, making the bed, and moving really anything around to make it fit or match something else. So now I know it’s not just me being messy and lazy 😊

[LolLol-ygew]

Thanks someone who actually understands dyspraxia

[dlargeyart]

I think juggling helps with the condition. You can start with something as simple as balled up tissue work your way up to tennis balls or stress balls

[ImaDoGToo]

I am like this, but i have very fast reflexes, so for years i was unaware bcs i could catch things i knocked over before they fell, feeling like spiderman. But i run into things and slam drawers, doors, cupboards. It's like an inappropriate relationship to the physical world.

When I was younger, I was diagnosed with autism and they said I had low motor skill function, could that be dyspraxia?

[XxLxX]

[DarkAngel-cjsx]

My son regressed into autism at 3 years old and now at 6 he is using some few words, but he can't articulate some of them

My son regressed into autism at 3 years old and when he started being verbal, he has a hard time to articulate

[audreydoyle]

Explains why I knocked over my coffee and ruined a whole roll of paper towel.. or that one time I nose dived off my bike and scratched up half my body as a kid cause I didn't align my bike with the pavement... I did that quite a few times 🤣

I had dyspraxia bad I still have some problems but I took therapy for it so I’m better with it tho I still have issues
Also before I was diagnosed they would say that I purposely bumped into walls or furniture and I purposely spilled things on purpose or bumped into them on purpose and they would get mad at me and say I wasn’t sorry when I apologized and at one point someone shoved me and got really mad because I kept bumping into them by accident i couldn’t see them for a moment and I never had great paying attention skills so yeah did anybody else walk extremely weird and get bullied and made of but yeah I felt like I was just a really clumsy person because I didn’t know what that was and all and also everyone was really mad at me all the time because I had to apologize 1000 times a day for bumping into someone or accidentally spilling stuff and they started telling me I did it on purpose or I was faking not remember anything they said in the last couple seconds and they had to repeat it multiple times people really don’t like me but I’m still getting people mad they mostly get angered by me having to have them repeat thing’s multiple times I’m not dumb but they think I am so really this whole thing had it’s challenges and needs to get out more needs more awareness cause I almost got beat up because they thought I was being rude on purpose cuz I kept bumping into them );
