dyspraxia 10

The causes of Dyspraxia.

As far as I know, Dyspraxia is caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain at birth or when a baby is born too early. I think this can be linked to epilepsy or and a stroke. I think are many other causes of Dyspraxia.

Dyspraxia is a hidden physical and mental hidden learning difficulty that needs to be taken seriously, due to people not able to see the difficulties people face who face it makes it hard to understand what people face.

 It is not an illness or diseases. 

The learning difficulty is profoundly serious not meaning is illness or disease which is what Dyspraxia not.

Most people tend to think because people Dyspraxia and other hidden disabilities can walk and talk, they do not face physical and mental difficulties.

 It is a serious hidden learning difficulty in the way it is physical and mental in a hidden way because people can walk and speak even some things may show such as speech and example they can talk but some words they may find hard to pronouns to the way others understand.

To cut long story short I was born in a time period where there was no diagnosing, no understanding, no support at all, information, etc, it has only been the last fifteen to twenty-year of my life roughly there has started to be aware.

I have problems with household skills such as cooking, cleaning, tidying, shopping, etc.

Personal skills cutting toenails and fingernails.

 Exercise sport, catching a ball in such as netball etc, also motor skills, balance problems, coordination etc with certain exercise machine, which I tend to avoid anything with movement because I do not what I will and will not be safe with if the support is not in place.

 This also makes it hard to manage such skills as driving a car hard for people with Dyspraxia with great the difficulty most people with Dyspraxia have achieved it, I guess with the right the support I guess when learning. I thought they would have to spend a lot more money on driving lessons etc compared to other people, as Dyspraxia can slow your motor skills and coordination down.

 Putting yourself in the shoes of parents, life can be a jigsaw puzzle for them when their child is slow at learning or and they know what their disabilities and health problems are.

Movements are to do with Motor skills, Co-ordation, and balance. For eg; opening a tin with a can opener.
Language is speech how we sound, make ourselves understood and misunderstood mostly the cases are.
Perception is Understanding and or misunderstanding others, messages, the world around us and etc.
It's more likely possible to have all of those forms of Dyspraxia as I have found all those things hard throughout my life.

 Having said that when you have a good many other disabilities it can be hard to say what causes what. For eg, I could either Asperger Syndrome or and ADHD, Dyslexia, Epilepsy as well as Dyspraxia. could have one form of Dyspraxia, two or all three. I know what I read about Dyspraxia sounds like me.

Different forms of Dyspraxia.

It sounds as if the world has a lot to learn about Dyspraxia, which is hardly surprising as it is a hard disability to understand and explain.

 Just because I am Dyspraxia does not mean I know everything about it. In my respects the world knows more than me.

What I do know is how it has affected my life. I am glad to say now it has opened up now.

 There may have been thousands of children in my school, I would have been aware, but I doubt it.

I know what it is like to feel so alone even though you are more than likely not. Bullying never seems to stop because you look and or seem different from other children.

Even by adults your so misunderstood because quite rightly even adult expects to see a normal child, whatever normal is at the end of the day.

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 seem 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 our time to get to know one another.

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

·                     We have a powerful and creative imagination in our daydreams.

·                     We are very keen learner’s despite finding learning hard, nothing stops us.

·                     We have good long-term memories.

·                     We can create for eg, creative writing art painting and drawing.

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 another, looking from the television to the magazine.

Although there seems to be a lot of things that we find hard, there are some things that get better through our lives. I still remember as a child finding it hard for a lot of years cutting 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 hands, some medications can make then 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 confidences because with this being a lifetime disability you become used to what you can and cannot cope.

The 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.
