Re: IF there was a cure for Dyspraxia?

What a good question! Would I take a cure? Now, no. When I was a kid, definitely. But then, my biggest dyspraxia related difficulty has always been other people, not my limitations. I was quite happy not being able to do certain stuff but no-one else was satisfied with that. If I could have been ...
