"My brain works faster then my body." YES that's exactly how it is. My brain and body feel like they work as two completely different entities. Definitely can be super frustrating. I often feel like I'm fighting with my mind to get it to work properly when doing a variety of things.
Recognizable, at times I can feel my clumsiness. The weird part however is that at rare occasions I start to do multiple things at the same time.... And I'm a man not a woman... Shouldn't be possible...
Ember Nyx holy shit it’s so right, I feel like my brain has is sonic and my body is a tortoise, like when I do an equation, I can’t say it quick enough
With dyspraxia not being well known here in the U.S. I have been kind of quiet about dyspraxia and you have inspired me to become more of an open book about dyspraxia as well as inspired me to share information about the disability whenever and wherever I can so with that I thank you for that
Definitely clumsy, definitely forgetful and MY GOD!!! Can I ever say a sentence without, for some reason, joining 2 words together or saying the complete wrong word to describe a situation, emotion, object etc. And every time I cock up on my sentences I say "Thanks brain. Thanks for making me sound like an idiot. You had one job".
Like im not clumsy i never was but catching a ball or playing basketball nah not happening and join 2 words togeter thats my killer everyone kills me with that every time i say it but no one mentioned it to me since i was very shy wehn i was young and i had time to think what i was gona say so i didnt realy fuck up before now after some mind opening drugs im not that shy anymore lmao and i notice all these errors i do and the typing thing omg every sentnance i writhe i have to check every word because if i type it too fast every word is conected or something and the sentance doesent make sence or instead of being 1234 its 1324
I am 13 and I have dyslexia which people understand. But when i say I have dyspraxia. They don’t know what it is. So I sent it them and it helped them understand what is going on in my brain and how I feel about things
Dog Madness that is brave i told a teacher my story and she riticuled me so i didnt go to school for a month over it ever since then she was an expert about dyspraxia when i got back still hate her for that
"Can sometimes be a bit of a giggle but sometimes a little frustrating" This is so true for dyspraxia in general. I cope by making a joke out of it when things go wrong because of my clumsiness. That works very well for me and, but when you're having a bad day or you're tired it can be so incredibly frustrating! Because you're already low on energy and why are those small things that everyone can just do going wrong?! Great video, you're lovely! I have only just figured out I'm dyspraxic 2 years ago and I'm still figuring out my brain and trying to explain it to people. This really helps. X
Thank you so much for this! This describes me to a T! I tried joining different dyspraxia groups on fb but often people ( or their children) had a myriad of different disabilities along with dyspraxia and I could never relate to them (e.g. many had learning disabilities as well)
I am so glad I came across this channel. I have dyspraxia, diagnoses at 19, now 24. And no one understands. Most people haven’t even heard of it till they met me. So I always end up explaining it to people. This video has made me happy.
Hi was diagnosed about half a year ago with dyspraxia, processing disorder and I have Tourette’s (diagnosed about 2 and a half years ago maybe 3) But I never really understood what dyspraxia actually is before I watched this video! Thank you so much for making this video. Also I’m pretty sure everything you mentioned applies to me and I was just siting here like ohhh so that is why I cant sleep well and I don’t like certain textures....🤣🤣 The most helpful thing to now understand is why I seem to get over sensitive about certain things like I’ll start crying about the smallest of things and people are just like it’s just this calm down!
Just watched your brilliant video, my daughter Lucy who has autism was sat beside me when you mentioned your blanket/blankey she was overjoyed simply because she calls her blanket blankey! So now she thinks her blankey is famous, it was lovely to see the joy in her eyes, thank you so much.
Oh it's such a relief to hear you talk about Dyspraxia, you have more or less just described my daughter who is 11yrs old. She has had a real tough time of it at school with being bullied as she isn't "fast" enough going up stairs or cannot run as well as others and other problems. Her sleep is a hard one as she fidgets alot then gets up. She has a cuddly in bed to help her and she is crazy mad for soft labels on her clothes. Thankyou for sharing this with everyone x
Thank you so much 😊 Mom of a son with dyspraxia here- this is one of the most accessible experiential descriptions I’ve heard and it helps me so much ❤️
Nikka’s Nook hello nikka im dyspraxic and im 19 years old if i could give advice when your son gets something wrong dont mention his dyspraxia being the problem all the time because for me i blame everything on it and its a bad habit and it makes me feel not like a human
Not dyspraxic, but I have been diagnosed with autism and ADHD so I can understand many of the things you mentioned in this. Particularly about sleep, food texture and forgetting an instruction literally seconds later. Weed tends to enhance these things for me too, not entirely relevant but I found that interesting lol
Love your video, it’s a really great description, learning this has changed the way I encounter and understand my forgetfulness clumsiness and sensitivity, thanks for sharing
Thank you... Its helped me understand my beautiful daughter abbie-leigh... Whom is amazing and beautiful... And wouldn't change her wonderfulness for anything x
Thanks for making such an informative video, a lot of my Teachers have suggested that I may have dyspraxia but at sixteen I still haven’t been officially diagnosed because I’m concerned that I’m just a very absent minded person who is clumsy and everyone is overreacting. Looking at your video it’s so clear to me that I should try and get a diagnosis, there are so many areas of my life (such as constantly moving around in bed when I’m supposed to be sleeping) that I wasn’t even aware may all be affected by dyspraxia
Just found out I have dyspraxia a couple of years ago............I'm middle aged now and school was no help at all in the 1970s & 80s...........no wonder i had problems like terrible handwriting, fatique, poor short term memory etc. PE was a nightmare! I beat myself up for years thinking why am I so "lazy" and why don't I "apply myself"............I always felt different but never knew why. There are still loads of doctors/nurses/psychiatrists/teachers who have little or no idea what dyspraxia is.
Thanks for posting this I think dyspraxia is generally misunderstood and unknown. I feel like us as dyspraxiac people should support each other and be their when were struggling whether that’s socially emotionally or physically.
Thank you for explaining, my daughter who is 6 years old has just been diagnosed with dyspraxia we are waiting for Occupational health to give us a idea of how severe it is. You’re a beautiful young lady would love to hear how you got through your teenage years and how you dealt with everything.
I was diagnosed when I was 6! I highly recommend the book Caged In Chaos by Victoria Briggs - my mum got that when I was a kid and it's really helped us all understand it a bit more! :D
I recently made a (pretty long on reflection) video about myself and how I live with Dyspraxia. It's interesting to see it from another dyspraxic's point of view, and to see it explained to people in a way they can understand.
I have Childhood Apraxia of speech/Verbal Dyspraxia, and I had no idea that it also can affect sensory input and Emotions, I wonder if it's why I've always been sensitive
Sophie Catherine Bligh I have dyspraxia too I don’t think any of my friends know that I do but I don’t really have a reason it bothers me but I do have one cause I am 16 and I can’t ride a bike I don’t want to learn now cause it would just embarrass me more
This is very true, I process information at a slower pace and I get misinterpreted and judged saying I'm slow. I always bang into stuff I'm clumsy. Very informative! Dyspraxia is very hard to deal with emotionally you can get traumatised by little things x I was diagnosed at the age of 4 noise gets me stressed too
My hands shake all the time, I can’t wright I forgot things all the time.when I talk I ever forget what I say or it comes out rong and people take it offensive.when I write my spelling always wrong, when I was younger people thought I had dislecsia then I became more clumsy I thought it was normal.
The silk on clothes labels are great, I'll sit and feel those for ages.. my favourite is the velour type fleece materials, feel so much more secure and calm with my soft teddy in bed.. even though I'm in my 30s. Lol.
Thank you so much I was diagnosed when I started school and 10 years later I understand it a lot more, I get bullied for this and bc I am also very short sighted (7.8) so I can barely see anything without my glasses and feel very sad and depressed. Again, thank you
I have always struggled with dyspraxia and dyslexia. I found that I can get good at full body sports like snowboarding, mountain biking and kayaking. I have never been able to catch and kick :/. I also struggle with stress symptoms without actually feeling that stressed
I am 51yrs old and have just been diagnosed with dyspraxia and dyslexia. Along with being clumsy and having speech difficulties when I was growing up Ihave always struggled with comprehending things verbally and written . I find I keep jumping from one task to the next and find it extremely difficult to stay on one task. This leads to stress at work as I take longer to complete tasks. Others have commented jokingly about me "bumbling around" and "flapping" at work and that I am "special" this diagnosis although initially upsetting now answers why I am the way I am. The stress of it all was sometimes overwhelming. Do others have these issues too. Thanks
Hey! OMG! Not too long ago, my psychologist and I realized I might be dyspraxic, which would make me thrice exceptional and would explain why it wasn't caught when I was assessed as an adult (because some things cancel out and I get average results). I actually researched dyspraxia as a teenager and I wondered if I had it, but I ended up thinking not, because I knew someone with more severe dyspraxia and I was like : I can tie my shoes, I must therefore not be dyspraxic. So, anyways I knew a few basic things about dyspraxia, but I didn't know about textures. I have always been difficult with food, especially on texture and that's something that my ex found plain rude and I had to tell him at some point that if I took a bite of soft cheese I would have a gag reflex and that's not anymore polite. Thank you for making this video, I have just subscribed and I plan on falling in the rabbit hole of your videos! Thanks!
I was diagnosed with severe dyspraxia. At the end of first year of uni. They label me as dyslexic because no one here knows what it is. Its really fustrating. Maybe i should send this to everyone at the university.
For me is just like, I'm thinking too much and i am focus too much what its my head. I was 30 years old when i discover that this is dyspraxia. Trying to help my, self I start to play guitar. It helps, but I have to practice regulary.
I honestly feel like I may have dyspraxia... (Im 13) I learnt the bike when I was 11, tie my shoe laces slowly, am always only of the last ones to finish changing... Also my mum says I have bad handwriting (I think its alright, just my letters are sharply written) but my friends say I have nice handwriting. I also have kind of slow/slurred speech. (Like when I try to speak fast, my words get messed up). I also have hardly any friends and people call me weird and I don't even know why... Also I do find it hard to control the loudness of my voice, like my parents sometimes complain that I am too quiet and my friend always says that I am speaking too loud. Also last thing, I am not really that clumsy. I mean as in I don't bump into people (as much as when I was younger) although I do accidentally often drop or nock things over. Please someone help me!!! (Oh and by the way, my mum always complains that I can't sit still)
TrooperJules You sound quite a lot like me as a 13 year old! I’m 21 now and I was only diagnosed with dyspraxia a few months ago. My advice for you would be to approach the SEN team in your school and see if there’s anything they can do to help. Hopefully if they agree they’ll be able to fund an assessment for you, and if you fit the diagnosis then you’ll get extra support in school! You might get extra time in exams, which will help with handwriting or you may even be allowed to type! Have you mentioned it to your parents at all?
I have never heard of dyspraxia but I really relate to this video A LOT! Some of these things might just be related to my Spina Bifida. Also, sometimes I will explain some things in my daily life and get asked if I am autistic. I am not self diagnosing but if I was dyspraxic, my life would make so much more sense. Any tips on how to get tested for dyspraxia?
best way is to discuss with you GP. But also note that not having an official diagnosis won't stop you from understanding yourself and finding new ways to adapt. :D
I have a small case of dispraxia I could barely walk up hills or anything without getting tired . I was at nable Ireland or however it's spelt . I'm much better now. I hate gymnastics as I felt more useless than every1 else for being scared to do a tumble let alone a hand stand . I cried one or twice about it. I hope nobody remembers at school that I did. people who don't have it can be confused. I live in Ireland and every1 luvs football I'm terrible at catching thing and when I was younger I found it most hard . I got hit in the face with a ball . it hurt bad . I never watched or learnt football and was afraid to try and be made fun of. I still am scared even to walk into a sports shop and for other people my age to know I don't belong there. It's been a long time since I have talked about this and I feel better now☺☺☺
What is dispraxya? As a 3 year old it was just another word but now as I’m 11 it affects me a lot more than it used to I want to cry sometimes like yesterday I was in the dinner hall and somebody was yelling my name so I quickly turned and my bottle fell on the ground and the hole hall laughed
Mine is walking I can’t walk in a straight line It’s so embarrassing like it gets to the point we’re I’ll be going left to right I hate it I cry myself to sleep about it And everyone picks up on it
My brain and my body feel disconnected. While I think that a sports position looks okay, it actually looks awful. I need a mirror to do sports^^ Gym class was awful, people tell me i don't move smoothly enough, when I try to throw a ball to the front, it falls behind me. I also have aspergers.
Wondering did you come to these conclusions by self evaluating yourself or did you look online and connect the dots? Very informative having dealt with a lot of these issues the emotional response and the brain thinking too fast to focus on one thing being top on the list.
I have severe DCD aka dyspraxia for me i attended psychology then occupational therapy to assess me with it basically to deal with it is time and lots of it you cant cure it and its hard to deal with it but just remember your not the only one and if you feel really bad or you need to see how people deal with it there are assosciations that deal with it for me i was anxious about going but at the end of the day everybody is in the same boat as you 😀
This might be a weird question as I suspect I have dyspraxia that made learning a lot of things very difficult for me. Has anyone with apraxia not been able to blow bubble gum bubbles? I eventually learned a lot of things but never could blow bubble gum bubbles. Also anyone tend to laugh really loud or clap hands very fast when scared from a scary movie?
Clapping sounds more like an autistic trait. However I am no professional and know very little about yourself. I would suggest talking to your gp about it
I've always known i have dyspraxia but havent really understanded it and my bosses at work keep asking me to explain what it is i have told them i have promblems with my hand eye coordination and have trouble spelling certain words and i now understand why i hardly sleep is there any other way to explain to my bosses at work?
I have dyspraxia I think I already told you but I forgot again I forget everything once I tried putting the kettle in the fridge because that’s where it lives now yeah the kettle lives now in the fridge I was getting so mad at myself
I have dyspraxia verbal and physical I'm in the US. It's not known here that well. It bothers me but I graduated college I drive everyday I would love to talk about this on a podcast or something .
My son is 4 and has both as well. We are in England. How are you with your speech now? He has severe verbal atm but is making lots of progress with therapy. It's so frustrating that the physical dyspraxia makes people just think he's naughty/fussy :-(
L8 97 hi my daughter is 6 and just been diagnosed I live in England also would love to chat if you want would want to find out more about the condition and how everyone copes
My entire family and myself think I am dyspraxic and so do some of my teachers but I'm 16 and feel old to just diagnosed so how do I go about speaking to a gp / Dr about it ??
I was recently diagnosed with Dyspraxia at Uni. However, I am sceptical as I have no difficulty playing sport. I play first division tennis and table tennis with relative ease. I know that I have poor working memory and processing speed which was picked up on my assessment. Is it possible to accidentally diagnose Dyspraxia instead of ADHD? Are there similarities? I feel my symptoms are more consistent with ADHD. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.
Late reply, but hopefully still of some help. The answer is yes, there is a great deal of overlap between dyspraxia and ADHD. A study I read suggests that the overlap may be as high as 50% or even more, meaning that a lot of people with ADHD may also have dyspraxia and vice versa. There's also a strong overlap with dyslexia. Many of the symptoms of dyspraxia are often covered under the umbrella of ADHD, such as co-ordination difficulties, but the dyspraxia diagnosis puts more emphasis on these issues rather than those of hyperactivity and attention defficiency. I think I might have ADD, but relate very strongly to dyspraxia as well, but this should be normal considering the diagnoses cover many of the same symptoms. I personally believe many cases of dyspraxia are diagnosed as ADHD due to the latter being more widely established and because for many people the distinction is irrelevant due to the massive overlap.
Hi, my 12 yr old son is currently having a really rough time at the moment. Having just completed his first yr at high school and being bullied physically and verbally. The physical has stopped after 2 meetings with the school and the bullys parents , the verbal however is ongoing they comment on every aspect of his face eg his ears look like an elf, his nose is pointy , his hair is awful his eyelashes are too long (which none of this is so and I know I'm his mum but hes a handsome young man and seems to attract all the girls lol ), he has just had a red spot (spider angioma) lasered on his cheek to try and get rid as they were mocking him about that. He has such low self esteem and says every one thinks he's weird and he just wants to be normal , it really breaks my heart . He is a great kid and so caring would do anything for anyone and help them. The school don't understand really what he goes through every day for example he cannot draw so his art is not great and the art teacher says that's awful you need to practice, why cant fo draw like everyone else!!! Great for boosting his confidence etc also in ti when doing metal work etc the teacher seems to get angry as hes slow and cant use machinery properly. Anything with using 2 hands is such a struggle, it's not that he cant do these things it's just he needs more time. The pe teacher has humiliated him in front of his peers by making him fo pushups in front of the others and they obviously just laughed at him because hes not great at any sport. Hes very tall and slim and in his words he just looks awkward . Hes always last to pack his stuff up after lessons, has lost a ton of stuff at school uniform and pens etc. Takes so long to get to the canteen at lunchtime he now takes a packed lunch instead , I think also he hated ppl watching him eat as he can be messy and not use cutlery properly. He does have a few really good friends that understand the way he is and that's great , but why the majority have to feel the need to waste their time making really unkind remarks to my son or indeed anyone else I have no clue , my son is having counselling at school. I really do not think there is enough awareness in schools on dyspraxia. Even though the school has been told loads of times about our sons daily struggles and how its affecting him and all the teachers were emailed to let them know they still don't seem to understand why he cant be as quick that some subjects as others. He trys to tough it out at school as doesnt want to be seen crying at school, so when he gets home we have to see and help with his frustration and comfort him when hes having a panic attack and anxiety All he wants to do is go to school , learn, have fun with his friends and instead he feels rubbish, hates school , hates the way he looks. I should say he does go to physio and has seen an ot .....we have also been to base camp which is a sport based program for kids with dyspraxia / autism etc that don't really do well at sports. We are still awaiting a diagnosis for dyspraxia at this present time. I really feel like going to the school and giving a talk on dyspraxia as it is a hidden disability and ppl really don't understand. Sorry for the waffling, I would love to read anyone else's comments on how dyspraxia has affected their child especially abound the 12 /13 yr old age group or in high school. One last thing ....A huge Thankyou th Krystal-Bella Shaw for making these videos, we've loved watching them ...Your awesome ❤ x
I highly suggest asking to meet with all of his teachers. So that you can share your concerns. Write it all down and give them copies. You should then ask them to come up with solutions to help him. This IS THEIR JOB so don't feel bad. If they struggle suggest they speak with his therapists, they can not share what they have discussed but will have a greater understanding of what will be appropriate for him.
@@DyspraxiaMagazine thankyou so much, I so wish we picked up on this earlier, as in primary school it was pointed out that he wasn't following instructions and his handwriting was awful etc etc , we actually took him for a hearing test🙈 as thought he couldn't hear the teachers properly ( hearing was absolutely fine) just having trouble processing information we now know . It wasn't until the last year of primary I googled some of the things he was having trouble with, cutlery , holding his pen, pe, getting dressed doing buttons and shoelaces amongst other things and it came up with dyspraxia which I had never heard of. I haven't been reading everything I can about it and your videos are fantastic as you keep it light hearted and my son like all others with dyspraxia have so many talents, hes truly amazing and so caring and empathetic. Hes now trying out the army cadets and he so enjoyed his first week , he doesn't want to join the army but thought it would help him with his confidence etc. I didn't actually think he would like it...proved me wrong . Thanks again for your comments. Your awesome. 🙂
Years ago i was diagnosed with sever dyslexia, but some of my symptomes were never exlained or fit dyslexia. I have a feeling I might have dyspraxia, because it its seems to fit much better than just dyslexia. I dont know for sure of course, maybe I should contact someone at my school about it....
I highly recommend talking about it to someone at your school. It's always worth to talk about it just to sure so that you can get all the support and help you need!
I talked to someone at my school today and they do think I have dyspraxia with dyslexia rather than sever dyslexia. There is no way for me to get a diagnose in my country, because its is unkown. However, my school offered help and support!
So happy for you and proud to have talked about it with your school. I know how overwhelming that kind of thing can be. I wish you all the best with your studies and learning more about yourself
100th comment Anyway if I get food that touches eachouthere then I hate it or if any one but my mom touches it I hate it to I also have depression angzity and dyslexia so when I have a break down I can't touch anything I have to hold my hands above in the air as I hate my own skin and everything around me oh and I eat only a few things I ate just rice plain sauce and chicken ( chicken tonight ) I ate that and only that for 4 or 5 months strait but one day I couldn't eat the chicken the texture freaked me out idk why it was ok before but I can't eat it now wich is odd but yhea I also get so unbelievably angry when it's hot like I go full kill mode it's a problem
Space Giraffes your a Huge dumbass, dyspraxia is the mix match of “disorders” you can have something, but not others, it’s not set, I have almost all of the issues I can have with dyspraxia, so i know it’s true
Totally feel ya on the food texture thing. I quite like the taste of mango, but I won't eat them because of the texture. Same thing with citrus fruits, I love the taste of lemons, oranges, limes, etc, but absolutely hate the texture. When I try to eat them it's like my brain tells me it's not real food and I shouldn't be eating it. It's weird. Also touching textures. Mine is cotton balls. The feeling of them makes me nauseous . I'm getting the heebiejeebies just thinking about it -shudders-.
I had dyspraxias its very hard and also i am allwrgic to gluten. That makes even hard to read. And doing anything. I becoming better i am high school i going to be in my last year of high schooñ tjis. I veey happy i become so far i am proud of my condition. In my school i am the only person who lnow 3 languges almost 4 i know native. Spanish 2 english 3 asl (american sign language 4 learning russian The things they hated to eat and textures. Peas. They only mustard i like with honey a lot hated. Eat the same thing for while i get tired something in my home i am again that thats worst. To hate some vegetables.
I am such a deep sleeper, I think I sleep too deeply? I struggle to get up in the morning and I always get a lot of sleep (8 hours plus), been thinking about getting it looked into-would this be a dyspraxia thing (Asperger syndrome and attention deficit disorder too if wanting to know), what do people think?
It can always help to get yourself diagnosed, but to be honest, I think you're fine ;) I have a severe case of dyspraxia, believe me, it can indeed affect your sleep, but this isn't that common and doesn't a lot more to you than that. The first things you have to ask yourself with dyspraxia, are: * Do you have difficulty with gross and fine motor skills? * Do you have difficulty with keeping balance? * Do you have difficulty with processing specific sounds, light, textures, etc. There are way more things you can find about it. Look for your country's (or city's) website for dyspraxia and learning disabilities and see what they can help you with ;) FYI, TL;DR: a normal human adult needs about 8-9 hours of sleep a night and most people (if they sleep well and in a good manner) are deep sleepers. You're probably fine ;)
Just wish people like my old teachers who had perfect lives happy all the time you know the ones who have nothing wrong with them i wish they knew the struggle or i wish i never existed in the first place ughh i hate my dyspraxia
"My brain works faster then my body." YES that's exactly how it is. My brain and body feel like they work as two completely different entities. Definitely can be super frustrating. I often feel like I'm fighting with my mind to get it to work properly when doing a variety of things.
Recognizable, at times I can feel my clumsiness. The weird part however is that at rare occasions I start to do multiple things at the same time.... And I'm a man not a woman... Shouldn't be possible...
deffo mouth work i speack supa fast
Oh I hear you there. The struggle is real!
Ember Nyx holy shit it’s so right, I feel like my brain has is sonic and my body is a tortoise, like when I do an equation, I can’t say it quick enough
me too!
With dyspraxia not being well known here in the U.S. I have been kind of quiet about dyspraxia and you have inspired me to become more of an open book about dyspraxia as well as inspired me to share information about the disability whenever and wherever I can so with that I thank you for that
So happy to hear this! The more you talk about it, the more people understand you AANNDDD the more people will learn about it
It’s not well known in the uk either that’s why it often takes so long to get a diagnosis (I was 13)
This makes me so sad. I lived up to 20 years with this and never knew. Hated myself for it.
So did I! I was almost 21 before I was diagnosed. It feels awful and I wish schools were more aware of it!
I just got diagnosed and I turned 40 this year...
No bullshit...😞
I lived for 15 years cause I’m 15
You have literally just explained every section of my dyspraxia 🙌🏾
Thank you for putting this out there, as a 63 year old dyslexic, dyspraxic it is nice to see it being explained.
I'm glad that this video was of help to you!
I have dyslexia and dyspraxia and discaluia. ...Absolutely great ((NOT). I get so angry!!!!
Definitely clumsy, definitely forgetful and MY GOD!!! Can I ever say a sentence without, for some reason, joining 2 words together or saying the complete wrong word to describe a situation, emotion, object etc.
And every time I cock up on my sentences I say "Thanks brain. Thanks for making me sound like an idiot. You had one job".
That happens to me to
I get so angry
Me too
Jibba-Jabba we are same
People say I’m a weirdo for saying random word to form a sentence
Like im not clumsy i never was but catching a ball or playing basketball nah not happening and join 2 words togeter thats my killer everyone kills me with that every time i say it but no one mentioned it to me since i was very shy wehn i was young and i had time to think what i was gona say so i didnt realy fuck up before now after some mind opening drugs im not that shy anymore lmao and i notice all these errors i do and the typing thing omg every sentnance i writhe i have to check every word because if i type it too fast every word is conected or something and the sentance doesent make sence or instead of being 1234 its 1324
I am 13 and I have dyslexia which people understand. But when i say I have dyspraxia. They don’t know what it is. So I sent it them and it helped them understand what is going on in my brain and how I feel about things
Dog Madness that is brave i told a teacher my story and she riticuled me so i didnt go to school for a month over it ever since then she was an expert about dyspraxia when i got back still hate her for that
"Can sometimes be a bit of a giggle but sometimes a little frustrating"
This is so true for dyspraxia in general. I cope by making a joke out of it when things go wrong because of my clumsiness. That works very well for me and, but when you're having a bad day or you're tired it can be so incredibly frustrating! Because you're already low on energy and why are those small things that everyone can just do going wrong?!
Great video, you're lovely! I have only just figured out I'm dyspraxic 2 years ago and I'm still figuring out my brain and trying to explain it to people. This really helps. X
Thank you so much for this! This describes me to a T! I tried joining different dyspraxia groups on fb but often people ( or their children) had a myriad of different disabilities along with dyspraxia and I could never relate to them (e.g. many had learning disabilities as well)
I am so glad I came across this channel. I have dyspraxia, diagnoses at 19, now 24. And no one understands. Most people haven’t even heard of it till they met me. So I always end up explaining it to people. This video has made me happy.
Hi was diagnosed about half a year ago with dyspraxia, processing disorder and I have Tourette’s (diagnosed about 2 and a half years ago maybe 3)
But I never really understood what dyspraxia actually is before I watched this video! Thank you so much for making this video.
Also I’m pretty sure everything you mentioned applies to me and I was just siting here like ohhh so that is why I cant sleep well and I don’t like certain textures....🤣🤣
The most helpful thing to now understand is why I seem to get over sensitive about certain things like I’ll start crying about the smallest of things and people are just like it’s just this calm down!
My 4yo daughter was just diagnosed with dyspraxia(DCD). Thank you for helping me understand better.
Just watched your brilliant video, my daughter Lucy who has autism was sat beside me when you mentioned your blanket/blankey she was overjoyed simply because she calls her blanket blankey! So now she thinks her blankey is famous, it was lovely to see the joy in her eyes, thank you so much.
Thank you for watching the video with her, I wish you both all the best x
Oh it's such a relief to hear you talk about Dyspraxia, you have more or less just described my daughter who is 11yrs old. She has had a real tough time of it at school with being bullied as she isn't "fast" enough going up stairs or cannot run as well as others and other problems. Her sleep is a hard one as she fidgets alot then gets up. She has a cuddly in bed to help her and she is crazy mad for soft labels on her clothes. Thankyou for sharing this with everyone x
VERY TRUE!!!
Very true! Labels and all can be frustrating but it gets better as you grow older
Thank you so much 😊 Mom of a son with dyspraxia here- this is one of the most accessible experiential descriptions I’ve heard and it helps me so much ❤️
Nikka’s Nook hello nikka im dyspraxic and im 19 years old if i could give advice when your son gets something wrong dont mention his dyspraxia being the problem all the time because for me i blame everything on it and its a bad habit and it makes me feel not like a human
Not dyspraxic, but I have been diagnosed with autism and ADHD so I can understand many of the things you mentioned in this. Particularly about sleep, food texture and forgetting an instruction literally seconds later. Weed tends to enhance these things for me too, not entirely relevant but I found that interesting lol
Love your video, it’s a really great description, learning this has changed the way I encounter and understand my forgetfulness clumsiness and sensitivity, thanks for sharing
I'm a 48 year old who has dealt with Dyspraxia my entire life. This is a VERY good explanation of what we deal with. Well done!
I 've dyslexia and dyspraxia and I 'm relatively/fairly new to youTUBE!!
Thank you... Its helped me understand my beautiful daughter abbie-leigh... Whom is amazing and beautiful... And wouldn't change her wonderfulness for anything x
Thanks for making such an informative video, a lot of my Teachers have suggested that I may have dyspraxia but at sixteen I still haven’t been officially diagnosed because I’m concerned that I’m just a very absent minded person who is clumsy and everyone is overreacting. Looking at your video it’s so clear to me that I should try and get a diagnosis, there are so many areas of my life (such as constantly moving around in bed when I’m supposed to be sleeping) that I wasn’t even aware may all be affected by dyspraxia
Just found out I have dyspraxia a couple of years ago............I'm middle aged now and school was no help at all in the 1970s & 80s...........no wonder i had problems like terrible handwriting, fatique, poor short term memory etc. PE was a nightmare! I beat myself up for years thinking why am I so "lazy" and why don't I "apply myself"............I always felt different but never knew why. There are still loads of doctors/nurses/psychiatrists/teachers who have little or no idea what dyspraxia is.
Thanks for posting this I think dyspraxia is generally misunderstood and unknown. I feel like us as dyspraxiac people should support each other and be their when were struggling whether that’s socially emotionally or physically.
I only just realised from this video that my sleep issues are related to my dyspraxia which honestly makes so much sense
Thank you for explaining, my daughter who is 6 years old has just been diagnosed with dyspraxia we are waiting for Occupational health to give us a idea of how severe it is. You’re a beautiful young lady would love to hear how you got through your teenage years and how you dealt with everything.
I was diagnosed when I was 6! I highly recommend the book Caged In Chaos by Victoria Briggs - my mum got that when I was a kid and it's really helped us all understand it a bit more! :D
@@thebuffoonwithsometunes4061 my daughter too who is 6 just got diagnosed only ordered caged in chaos so good to know good choice 🙂
I recently made a (pretty long on reflection) video about myself and how I live with Dyspraxia. It's interesting to see it from another dyspraxic's point of view, and to see it explained to people in a way they can understand.
I have Childhood Apraxia of speech/Verbal Dyspraxia, and I had no idea that it also can affect sensory input and Emotions, I wonder if it's why I've always been sensitive
This is a great video for someone learning about something they didn’t know they had until the age of 32!
I have dyspraxia. I've always been told it don't matter by my friends but it does to me its personal
Sophie Catherine Bligh I have dyspraxia too I don’t think any of my friends know that I do but I don’t really have a reason it bothers me but I do have one cause I am 16 and I can’t ride a bike I don’t want to learn now cause it would just embarrass me more
Very useful I get told of as I can’t filter out noise so just get louder and people get embarrassed as they say whole bus can hear me
This is very true, I process information at a slower pace and I get misinterpreted and judged saying I'm slow. I always bang into stuff I'm clumsy. Very informative! Dyspraxia is very hard to deal with emotionally you can get traumatised by little things x I was diagnosed at the age of 4 noise gets me stressed too
You have a wonderful way of explaining this. Good for you putting this out there I admire you a lot. Sending lots of love. X
My hands shake all the time, I can’t wright I forgot things all the time.when I talk I ever forget what I say or it comes out rong and people take it offensive.when I write my spelling always wrong, when I was younger people thought I had dislecsia then I became more clumsy I thought it was normal.
The silk on clothes labels are great, I'll sit and feel those for ages.. my favourite is the velour type fleece materials, feel so much more secure and calm with my soft teddy in bed.. even though I'm in my 30s. Lol.
I just found out my boyfriend is dyspraxic. This is really helpful.
I’m just commenting on your videos because I can’t sleep and I do pretty random things when I can’t sleep
This has really help me understand my friend who has it I really appreciate it this video I now know to he slow and easy and patient with him
I have a fight with my mind and my words...as in like:-for example- mouth=I need a shower! Mind=No I don't want to!Should I?
HELP ME
Thank you, this is great for explaining a lot of what my son experiences in a way that I understand and that I can explain to other people.
I have dispraxia and like I cry when the teacher shouts at anybody ............how can I explain dispraxia (DCD)?
To my friends
Thank you so much I was diagnosed when I started school and 10 years later I understand it a lot more, I get bullied for this and bc I am also very short sighted (7.8) so I can barely see anything without my glasses and feel very sad and depressed.
Again, thank you
Because no one is as messed up as me
I feel you bro. I wish i knew about my dyspraxia earlier. I have so much trouble with spatial awareness....
I have always struggled with dyspraxia and dyslexia. I found that I can get good at full body sports like snowboarding, mountain biking and kayaking. I have never been able to catch and kick :/. I also struggle with stress symptoms without actually feeling that stressed
I hate it when people say I’m clumsy though because like no I’m diagnosed with a freaking coordination disorder I’m not clumsy yk
I am 51yrs old and have just been diagnosed with dyspraxia and dyslexia. Along with being clumsy and having speech difficulties when I was growing up Ihave always struggled with comprehending things verbally and written . I find I keep jumping from one task to the next and find it extremely difficult to stay on one task. This leads to stress at work as I take longer to complete tasks. Others have commented jokingly about me "bumbling around" and "flapping" at work and that I am "special" this diagnosis although initially upsetting now answers why I am the way I am. The stress of it all was sometimes overwhelming. Do others have these issues too. Thanks
Hey! OMG! Not too long ago, my psychologist and I realized I might be dyspraxic, which would make me thrice exceptional and would explain why it wasn't caught when I was assessed as an adult (because some things cancel out and I get average results). I actually researched dyspraxia as a teenager and I wondered if I had it, but I ended up thinking not, because I knew someone with more severe dyspraxia and I was like : I can tie my shoes, I must therefore not be dyspraxic. So, anyways I knew a few basic things about dyspraxia, but I didn't know about textures. I have always been difficult with food, especially on texture and that's something that my ex found plain rude and I had to tell him at some point that if I took a bite of soft cheese I would have a gag reflex and that's not anymore polite. Thank you for making this video, I have just subscribed and I plan on falling in the rabbit hole of your videos! Thanks!
I was diagnosed with severe dyspraxia. At the end of first year of uni. They label me as dyslexic because no one here knows what it is. Its really fustrating. Maybe i should send this to everyone at the university.
MY ROOM IS SO HOT AND NOISY AND MY BED IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE I HATE BEING DYSPRAXIC
For me is just like, I'm thinking too much and i am focus too much what its my head. I was 30 years old when i discover that this is dyspraxia. Trying to help my, self I start to play guitar. It helps, but I have to practice regulary.
This also go’s side and side with ADHD
I honestly feel like I may have dyspraxia... (Im 13) I learnt the bike when I was 11, tie my shoe laces slowly, am always only of the last ones to finish changing... Also my mum says I have bad handwriting (I think its alright, just my letters are sharply written) but my friends say I have nice handwriting. I also have kind of slow/slurred speech. (Like when I try to speak fast, my words get messed up). I also have hardly any friends and people call me weird and I don't even know why... Also I do find it hard to control the loudness of my voice, like my parents sometimes complain that I am too quiet and my friend always says that I am speaking too loud. Also last thing, I am not really that clumsy. I mean as in I don't bump into people (as much as when I was younger) although I do accidentally often drop or nock things over. Please someone help me!!! (Oh and by the way, my mum always complains that I can't sit still)
TrooperJules You sound quite a lot like me as a 13 year old! I’m 21 now and I was only diagnosed with dyspraxia a few months ago. My advice for you would be to approach the SEN team in your school and see if there’s anything they can do to help. Hopefully if they agree they’ll be able to fund an assessment for you, and if you fit the diagnosis then you’ll get extra support in school! You might get extra time in exams, which will help with handwriting or you may even be allowed to type! Have you mentioned it to your parents at all?
I have both dyspraxia and Asperger's
I am dysbraxic and I experience most of these things
Do find computer excel or front offices take a booking ?
Great video, I have a blanket I cosy into every night 😊
I have never heard of dyspraxia but I really relate to this video A LOT! Some of these things might just be related to my Spina Bifida. Also, sometimes I will explain some things in my daily life and get asked if I am autistic. I am not self diagnosing but if I was dyspraxic, my life would make so much more sense. Any tips on how to get tested for dyspraxia?
best way is to discuss with you GP. But also note that not having an official diagnosis won't stop you from understanding yourself and finding new ways to adapt. :D
Mum I’ve got dyspraxia
Mum:it’s that dam phone
I have a small case of dispraxia I could barely walk up hills or anything without getting tired . I was at nable Ireland or however it's spelt . I'm much better now. I hate gymnastics as I felt more useless than every1 else for being scared to do a tumble let alone a hand stand . I cried one or twice about it. I hope nobody remembers at school that I did. people who don't have it can be confused. I live in Ireland and every1 luvs football I'm terrible at catching thing and when I was younger I found it most hard . I got hit in the face with a ball . it hurt bad . I never watched or learnt football and was afraid to try and be made fun of. I still am scared even to walk into a sports shop and for other people my age to know I don't belong there. It's been a long time since I have talked about this and I feel better now☺☺☺
This is where we all come to load off. Glad you got the chance to. Xx
What is dispraxya? As a 3 year old it was just another word but now as I’m 11 it affects me a lot more than it used to I want to cry sometimes like yesterday I was in the dinner hall and somebody was yelling my name so I quickly turned and my bottle fell on the ground and the hole hall laughed
Strawberries, my favourite flavour, but i can not eat them cause the texture makes me feel physically sick.
Adam Long make it into smoothie
Krystal i know this a personal question but with your dyspraxia did your emotions have like a numbness or suppression for a period of time
Mine is walking I can’t walk in a straight line
It’s so embarrassing like it gets to the point we’re I’ll be going left to right
I hate it
I cry myself to sleep about it
And everyone picks up on it
My brain and my body feel disconnected. While I think that a sports position looks okay, it actually looks awful. I need a mirror to do sports^^ Gym class was awful, people tell me i don't move smoothly enough, when I try to throw a ball to the front, it falls behind me. I also have aspergers.
Wondering did you come to these conclusions by self evaluating yourself or did you look online and connect the dots? Very informative having dealt with a lot of these issues the emotional response and the brain thinking too fast to focus on one thing being top on the list.
Hey you are from Maidenhead :) I have just been told that I may have Dyspraxia. It would be nice to learn how you deal with it. :)
I am from maidenhead! However I don't live there anymore
I have severe DCD aka dyspraxia for me i attended psychology then occupational therapy to assess me with it basically to deal with it is time and lots of it you cant cure it and its hard to deal with it but just remember your not the only one and if you feel really bad or you need to see how people deal with it there are assosciations that deal with it for me i was anxious about going but at the end of the day everybody is in the same boat as you 😀
I struggle with co ordination due to hydrocephalus.
Thank you 💚💚
This might be a weird question as I suspect I have dyspraxia that made learning a lot of things very difficult for me. Has anyone with apraxia not been able to blow bubble gum bubbles? I eventually learned a lot of things but never could blow bubble gum bubbles. Also anyone tend to laugh really loud or clap hands very fast when scared from a scary movie?
Clapping sounds more like an autistic trait. However I am no professional and know very little about yourself. I would suggest talking to your gp about it
I feel a lot of these symptoms I experience In going to the doctor on Thursday but is not being able to read graph paper a symptom
So fucking close to home.
I've always known i have dyspraxia but havent really understanded it and my bosses at work keep asking me to explain what it is i have told them i have promblems with my hand eye coordination and have trouble spelling certain words and i now understand why i hardly sleep is there any other way to explain to my bosses at work?
my dyspraxia effects my sleep,my emotions(especially emotions to do with sadness)and physical fitness. my body defiantly cant keep up with my brain
Jessi Anderson-pinder mine gives me a numbness to my emotions but i fixed by getting off auto pilot hard thing to do
I have dyspraxia I think I already told you but I forgot again I forget everything once I tried putting the kettle in the fridge because that’s where it lives now yeah the kettle lives now in the fridge I was getting so mad at myself
Seriously what was i talking about??????
I have dyspraxia verbal and physical I'm in the US. It's not known here that well. It bothers me but I graduated college I drive everyday I would love to talk about this on a podcast or something .
Podcast sounds great!
Krystal-Bella Shaw let's set something up.
My son is 4 and has both as well. We are in England. How are you with your speech now? He has severe verbal atm but is making lots of progress with therapy. It's so frustrating that the physical dyspraxia makes people just think he's naughty/fussy :-(
L8 97 hi my daughter is 6 and just been diagnosed I live in England also would love to chat if you want would want to find out more about the condition and how everyone copes
My entire family and myself think I am dyspraxic and so do some of my teachers but I'm 16 and feel old to just diagnosed so how do I go about speaking to a gp / Dr about it ??
I was recently diagnosed with Dyspraxia at Uni. However, I am sceptical as I have no difficulty playing sport. I play first division tennis and table tennis with relative ease. I know that I have poor working memory and processing speed which was picked up on my assessment. Is it possible to accidentally diagnose Dyspraxia instead of ADHD? Are there similarities? I feel my symptoms are more consistent with ADHD. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.
Late reply, but hopefully still of some help. The answer is yes, there is a great deal of overlap between dyspraxia and ADHD. A study I read suggests that the overlap may be as high as 50% or even more, meaning that a lot of people with ADHD may also have dyspraxia and vice versa. There's also a strong overlap with dyslexia. Many of the symptoms of dyspraxia are often covered under the umbrella of ADHD, such as co-ordination difficulties, but the dyspraxia diagnosis puts more emphasis on these issues rather than those of hyperactivity and attention defficiency. I think I might have ADD, but relate very strongly to dyspraxia as well, but this should be normal considering the diagnoses cover many of the same symptoms. I personally believe many cases of dyspraxia are diagnosed as ADHD due to the latter being more widely established and because for many people the distinction is irrelevant due to the massive overlap.
could someone tell me how many hours you sleep? I need nine hours.
Hi, my 12 yr old son is currently having a really rough time at the moment. Having just completed his first yr at high school and being bullied physically and verbally. The physical has stopped after 2 meetings with the school and the bullys parents , the verbal however is ongoing they comment on every aspect of his face eg his ears look like an elf, his nose is pointy , his hair is awful his eyelashes are too long (which none of this is so and I know I'm his mum but hes a handsome young man and seems to attract all the girls lol ), he has just had a red spot (spider angioma) lasered on his cheek to try and get rid as they were mocking him about that. He has such low self esteem and says every one thinks he's weird and he just wants to be normal , it really breaks my heart . He is a great kid and so caring would do anything for anyone and help them. The school don't understand really what he goes through every day for example he cannot draw so his art is not great and the art teacher says that's awful you need to practice, why cant fo draw like everyone else!!! Great for boosting his confidence etc also in ti when doing metal work etc the teacher seems to get angry as hes slow and cant use machinery properly. Anything with using 2 hands is such a struggle, it's not that he cant do these things it's just he needs more time. The pe teacher has humiliated him in front of his peers by making him fo pushups in front of the others and they obviously just laughed at him because hes not great at any sport. Hes very tall and slim and in his words he just looks awkward . Hes always last to pack his stuff up after lessons, has lost a ton of stuff at school uniform and pens etc. Takes so long to get to the canteen at lunchtime he now takes a packed lunch instead , I think also he hated ppl watching him eat as he can be messy and not use cutlery properly. He does have a few really good friends that understand the way he is and that's great , but why the majority have to feel the need to waste their time making really unkind remarks to my son or indeed anyone else I have no clue , my son is having counselling at school. I really do not think there is enough awareness in schools on dyspraxia. Even though the school has been told loads of times about our sons daily struggles and how its affecting him and all the teachers were emailed to let them know they still don't seem to understand why he cant be as quick that some subjects as others. He trys to tough it out at school as doesnt want to be seen crying at school, so when he gets home we have to see and help with his frustration and comfort him when hes having a panic attack and anxiety All he wants to do is go to school , learn, have fun with his friends and instead he feels rubbish, hates school , hates the way he looks. I should say he does go to physio and has seen an ot .....we have also been to base camp which is a sport based program for kids with dyspraxia / autism etc that don't really do well at sports.
We are still awaiting a diagnosis for dyspraxia at this present time. I really feel like going to the school and giving a talk on dyspraxia as it is a hidden disability and ppl really don't understand.
Sorry for the waffling, I would love to read anyone else's comments on how dyspraxia has affected their child especially abound the 12 /13 yr old age group or in high school.
One last thing ....A huge Thankyou th Krystal-Bella Shaw for making these videos, we've loved watching them ...Your awesome ❤ x
I highly suggest asking to meet with all of his teachers. So that you can share your concerns. Write it all down and give them copies. You should then ask them to come up with solutions to help him. This IS THEIR JOB so don't feel bad. If they struggle suggest they speak with his therapists, they can not share what they have discussed but will have a greater understanding of what will be appropriate for him.
@@DyspraxiaMagazine thankyou so much, I so wish we picked up on this earlier, as in primary school it was pointed out that he wasn't following instructions and his handwriting was awful etc etc , we actually took him for a hearing test🙈 as thought he couldn't hear the teachers properly ( hearing was absolutely fine) just having trouble processing information we now know . It wasn't until the last year of primary I googled some of the things he was having trouble with, cutlery , holding his pen, pe, getting dressed doing buttons and shoelaces amongst other things and it came up with dyspraxia which I had never heard of.
I haven't been reading everything I can about it and your videos are fantastic as you keep it light hearted and my son like all others with dyspraxia have so many talents, hes truly amazing and so caring and empathetic. Hes now trying out the army cadets and he so enjoyed his first week , he doesn't want to join the army but thought it would help him with his confidence etc. I didn't actually think he would like it...proved me wrong . Thanks again for your comments. Your awesome. 🙂
I think iam undiagnosed and I have Asperger's syndrome.
Paper drives me up the wall
Years ago i was diagnosed with sever dyslexia, but some of my symptomes were never exlained or fit dyslexia. I have a feeling I might have dyspraxia, because it its seems to fit much better than just dyslexia. I dont know for sure of course, maybe I should contact someone at my school about it....
I highly recommend talking about it to someone at your school. It's always worth to talk about it just to sure so that you can get all the support and help you need!
I talked to someone at my school today and they do think I have dyspraxia with dyslexia rather than sever dyslexia. There is no way for me to get a diagnose in my country, because its is unkown. However, my school offered help and support!
So happy for you and proud to have talked about it with your school. I know how overwhelming that kind of thing can be. I wish you all the best with your studies and learning more about yourself

Anyway if I get food that touches eachouthere then I hate it or if any one but my mom touches it I hate it to I also have depression angzity and dyslexia so when I have a break down I can't touch anything I have to hold my hands above in the air as I hate my own skin and everything around me oh and I eat only a few things I ate just rice plain sauce and chicken ( chicken tonight ) I ate that and only that for 4 or 5 months strait but one day I couldn't eat the chicken the texture freaked me out idk why it was ok before but I can't eat it now wich is odd but yhea I also get so unbelievably angry when it's hot like I go full kill mode it's a problem
I get the sleep, temperature and noise but I like to juggle as I am not clumsy maybe I am more dyslexic then dyspraxic?
Space Giraffes your a Huge dumbass, dyspraxia is the mix match of “disorders” you can have something, but not others, it’s not set, I have almost all of the issues I can have with dyspraxia, so i know it’s true
William Hogben why are you so aggressive to a random person asking a question
Totally feel ya on the food texture thing. I quite like the taste of mango, but I won't eat them because of the texture. Same thing with citrus fruits, I love the taste of lemons, oranges, limes, etc, but absolutely hate the texture. When I try to eat them it's like my brain tells me it's not real food and I shouldn't be eating it. It's weird. Also touching textures. Mine is cotton balls. The feeling of them makes me nauseous . I'm getting the heebiejeebies just thinking about it -shudders-.
I feel your pain! x
I had dyspraxias its very hard and also i am allwrgic to gluten. That makes even hard to read. And doing anything. I becoming better i am high school i going to be in my last year of high schooñ tjis. I veey happy i become so far i am proud of my condition. In my school i am the only person who lnow 3 languges almost 4 i know native. Spanish 2 english 3 asl (american sign language 4 learning russian
The things they hated to eat and textures. Peas. They only mustard i like with honey a lot hated. Eat the same thing for while i get tired something in my home i am again that thats worst. To hate some vegetables.
.... yeah I'm pretty sure I don't have this
So what is the difference between dyspraxia and sensory processing disorder??? Or are they the same?
Dyspraxia is a sensory processing disorder, there are a few different types of sensory processing disorders
Krystal-Bella Shaw thank you! 🙏🏽
Krystal-Bella Shaw I’m wondering how you distinguish between SPD and ASD....is it the special interests/repetition piece that makes it autism??
I wearing black uniform thank you for reply back to me
Ive never even heard of dyspraxia until seeing this video.
Tony Lecoure its horrible to have when young and in school but its definitely a thing
I have dyspraxia
I am such a deep sleeper, I think I sleep too deeply? I struggle to get up in the morning and I always get a lot of sleep (8 hours plus), been thinking about getting it looked into-would this be a dyspraxia thing (Asperger syndrome and attention deficit disorder too if wanting to know), what do people think?
P.S. all trace levels
It can always help to get yourself diagnosed, but to be honest, I think you're fine ;)
I have a severe case of dyspraxia, believe me, it can indeed affect your sleep, but this isn't that common and doesn't a lot more to you than that.
The first things you have to ask yourself with dyspraxia, are:
* Do you have difficulty with gross and fine motor skills?
* Do you have difficulty with keeping balance?
* Do you have difficulty with processing specific sounds, light, textures, etc.
There are way more things you can find about it. Look for your country's (or city's) website for dyspraxia and learning disabilities and see what they can help you with ;)
FYI, TL;DR: a normal human adult needs about 8-9 hours of sleep a night and most people (if they sleep well and in a good manner) are deep sleepers. You're probably fine ;)
Thank you, I alway did wonder but always forgot about it (until the next morning)
That happens me to at bed time sometime
I had dypraxia
Your eyes are beautiful
I have dyspraxia and I will just walk to a. Place that I dont need to be
