As the poll above suggests, if their was a magic cure for dyspraxia, would you have it?
Personally i'm unsure on the subject, as much as dyspraxia can cause me grief and great difficulty at times, it has shaped my whole life and soul. i don't know who i'd be without it!
Although somedays i really wish i could be "normal" (whatever that is!)
Really interested in your thoughts

well I have lived with it for this long, sometimes I think it protects me by being over cautious However there are other factors where its a pain in the bum. I don't know! I am a very sensitive person and sometimes i am not sure what is infact me and what is the dyspraxia - and infact whether i should just embrace the lot! xxxxx
good question yes at this time i would want to take it I would like to be better organised , less ressistant towards change and have better co ordination and social skills if i didn't have dyspraxia then i feel all this would be less difficult
BUT dyspraxia has given me a sense of determination my written skills are good and i personally feel i have a good sense of work ethic and don't give up easily im also very stubborn - it would be a shame to loose this but i would still take the cure
No i don't think i would, its been part of me for this long (22 years) so taking it away would take away from who i am. I belive it makes up part of my pesonality, and without it i wouldn't be the same person.
If I was younger, yes but now no, I have lived through the worst of it and to be honest, it wouldn't be worth it. Plus, I feel I would be losing a part of myself.

F**k NO, If I got a cure would I be the same person I am now. Probably not, I like my life. I enjoy the things I enjoy be it sports, music or something else. The end of the day Dyspraxia isn't going to kill me, so why would I want a cure.
I find this question quite offensive actually, what's wrong with having dyspraxia? Granted, I might not have it as bad as some people but having dyspraxia has not stopped me doing anything I wanted to do.
I passed all my GCSEs, got 2 BTECs and last year I graduated from uni. I've done as well as anyone else!
I often complain about certain things like the depression, the anxiety, and most of the social problems ......but no dyspraxia is awesome at times , i have many great understanding friends, i have met people i would never have met if it wasnt for dyspraxia and also dyspraxia is me if i didnt have dyspraxia i might not be the caring and understanding person that i am now. Dyspraxia has its ups and downs but i wouldnt change it for a thing coz yes it used to bother me that i wasnt "normal" like everyone else but what is normal and to be honest its kinda grown on me and i often laugh at the stupid things it makes me do like umm tripping over nothing hahaha
Couldn't live without dyspraxia, taking it away from me would be to take a chunk of my personality too

we have our senses messed up
then are percieving things the way they are?
are we in a world of our own and in a Delusional State/illusional state
because we can never be sure of ourselves
then what is our personality/what is out mind/what are our feelings/
we dont know
this is HOW it robs u of your being
human
we are not humans
because we are not integrated
we are just plain messed up like a mad dog

Moose its not your sense that define your reality but your perception i.e how you recieve and proces it . Many over tyoes of neurological conditions also alter sensory inout , (mind you dogs have better nightvision then us and more stamina so it might not be a bad thing )
What is human is also a very philosophical question with no true answer (Native American Indians had a word for the definition of Human being )
