Dyspraxia awareness part 3

 Other awareness of the disability.

Some people with Dyspraxia have flat feet but I also have wide feet. I have really bad problems getting shoes to fit me. Some people even find it hard to type and grip the mouse on a computer. My problem can be I type so fast I do not notice my spelling mistakes and the words I have missed out of sentences. Some people find it hard to plan things. Some of us have poor relocating cannot look quickly and effectively from one object to other, looking from the television to a magazine.

Although there seem to be a lot of things that we find hard, there are some things that get better throughout our lives. I still remember as a child finding it hard for a lot of years to cut meat up with a knife and fork. In some cases, if someone is on some medications the side effects can make life even harder for them. If you have a lot of problems with your hands, some medications can make them worse, which makes some people shake.  Not everyone finds the same things hard and not everyone finds the same things easy. I even find with some things I just have good days and bad. Strangely in some things, there are some weaknesses that can turn into confidence because with this being a lifetime disability you become used to what you can and cannot cope with. Fact that we are keen, willing people because we find so many things hard, we do not give up until we achieve what we want to. Sometimes though society gives upon us. To start with it may seem hard to believe that there are positives in Dyspraxia, but it is taking a long time to believe in that, your disability, and most of all yourself. You can find so many things hard, yet it is to believe the bad as well as the good because you do not appear to strangers to have disabilities.

Our lives are not all black and white there are positives about us, yet some are from the things we do find hard.

 

 

·                     Some things that we may see different from other people can be right.

·                     We find it easy to get along with people if they understand us and we understand them.

·                     People need to give themselves time and us time to get to know one another.

·                     We can be carrying people who need support as much or if not more than us.
