Chapter 5 Dyspraxia awareness

 What is Dyspraxia?

Dyspraxia is a hard disability and mental problem to explain and understand, it is a very hidden learning difficulty, lifetime long – term condition. Many people have already lived  
with Dyspraxia our lives being misunderstood and being told that we are a danger to society, this maybe the case but we should the rights to the right support. The condition makes you who and what you are, which we are classed as clumsily meaning a health and safety hazard without the right support in the teams of society and even the eyes of law. Most of us with Dyspraxia can walk and talk but whichever it is still a very hidden condition. Not a lot of people can tell unless you spend a lot of time with people with Dyspraxia. We have difficulty with things climbing things such as a ladder etc in my experience.

Dyspraxia is a condition that should be taken seriously because it can affect everyday skills like cutting one’s toenails and fingernails, shaving, kitchen skills, etc.

Both awareness and funding need to be raised for the condition.

As far as I am aware that the condition is only been aware for say the last fifteen to twenty years. Therefore, there may be different forms of Dyspraxia, which society needs to research.

 The world understands that the world can know everything right away. No one is blaming anyone but if Dyspraxia was understood many years, we may have had the right support and may not have been classed as health hazards and useless people. This disability has caused us to be made to feel guilty for things we cannot help and also caused us to be hated by the world. We understand it is understandable in one way for the health and safety of others but not the fault the purpose of the people who have the disabilities. The awareness is good but all very well to raise when there is not the money in the world to support it. One thing is raising understanding of Dyspraxia so we can be at least understood for what our disability is about.

Dyspraxia is when people are unaware of the world around them. It is too easy to not look where you are going, and bang into things and people around you. People with Dyspraxia can find physical and mental skills hard. Dyspraxia is mostly misunderstood and has been a danger to society, which you are but with the right support you can get by in life.
 The reason for Dyspraxia being misunderstood is because it is a hidden disability. Yet Dyspraxia being a lot to do with the body and brain, even though it is hidden because people can walk and talk it is more major than those with disabilities who need 24-hour care in everything.  The advantage is that people with Dyspraxia have the ability though to ask for help if we need it. There is just a wide circle of skills we find hard. The cause of being misunderstood is the fact we can walk and talk so people think we can manage our lives the same as them. Dyspraxia is a Motor skill and co -oration disability but it is also can be a reading and writing disability not much different to dyslexia.
