My name is Sara Jane Gorman, I used to work for a Public Advocacy service called Our Shout Wolverhampton supported by Royal Wolverhampton Mencap. Now I work for the University Of Wolverhampton as a Vist Lecture educating and training Student Learning Disability nurses around Learning Disability and Mental Health. For a very short time, I shared a very small business well Enterprise with someone with learning disability from Mencap, we were called Access All Areas Now and we were Learning Disability Awareness trainers.
I was born in 1969, with lack of oxygen to the brain, therefore, I was a child of the 70s, a teenager of the 80s and very young adult of the 90s. Very little was known so there was very little support or none at all. Therefore there was no diagnose to what my problems were and to be for the rest of my life but as years went on there started to be plenty of research. Both I and my family knew the difficulties I faced. My family mainly watched films, read books etc to find certain difficulties I faced were named but not 100 percent sure, which is why whatever you face it's important but not always possible to get a diagnosed as early in life as possible. As I have said in so many words I have never been diagnosed because my problems were unknown in the early stages of my life which makes me want the opposite for others today and in the future.
These problems I face Autism, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, and Epilepsy.
For the last six years, I have been working for the University Of Wolverhampton, it's been a great experience still teaching and training the Student Learning Disability nurses around learning disability and mental health.
Dyspraxia needs to be taken more seriously, it's not an illness or diseases, it's long-term condition and learning difficulty that can affect people physically and mentally and it's very hidden because people can walk and talk. Dyspraxia from my experience slows you down with everything but it doesn't stop your life altogether. I have some things I can achieve and another thing I can't but some difficulties I have overcome regardless of have none or very little support.
However' it's important to expect anything from anybody, I can only speak from my own experience, it could well vary from person to person, not be the case for every facing the condition facing the same or all the same problems.
I feel it's important that people with the condition get a lot of support but due to funding and that it's not always possible. However' some may need more support than others.
My reasons are because Dyspraxia has been a huge effect on my physically more so than mentally, such as trying to do up shoelaces, zips, buttons etc. It's affected me from having children, which was very furstraighting when I was in my mid-teens to twenties etc. Babies do riggle and not excepted to wait until for example; you have put their right feet in the feet of their baby grow lol, which seems rather funny when writing but physically and mentally has caused me a lot of Anxiety and fustigation.
