My entry: Well, my real achievement is to cope with my condition; Dyspraxia. And it is really hard to cope with as it makes it difficult for general things in life such as;
-
Clumsiness
Reading difficulties
Poor short term memory. E.g. If given a list of instructions to carry out, may remember the first and last one but not the ones in between .
Awkward walking and running.
-
Sensitive to touch. E.g. uncomfortable brushing your teeth, brushing hair and having it cut, certain clothes uncomfortable to wear.
-
Poor Concentration. E.g. easily distracted by background noise in a classroom
-
Poorly organised. E.g. leaving things you need for school at home
-
Bump into objects or people by accident, but it doesn't go down very well!
I highlighted the last one in red because it is a very important and critical one.
For those of you who don't know what Dyspraxia is;
I have Dyspraxia, a disability which means messages to and from the brain are not transmitted properly. The cause of Dyspraxia is unknown but it may be caused by poor development of nerve cells in the brain. Up to 7% of the British population have dyspraxia and 70% of them are male.
Dyspraxia is a disability but it does not make you look disabled. This is a good thing but can also sometimes cause confusion and misunderstanding because people do not understand your difficulties. Often, this can lead to bullying and discrimination by adults and children.
I think I have coped really well and now getting lessons to treat it.
There is no cure for Dyspraxia so it is really hard but you can help it so it does not cause many problems in the future therefore I'm having lessons to treat it.
