The brain of a dyspraxic

[mike!]

I heard from someone somewhere that the brain of a dyspraxic person has one part of the brain is underdeveloped-the part that is used for socializing, controlling movements, logic, spatial awareness etc.

I heard because of that the side of the brain where creativity is more developed such as-art, writing, thinking deeper, empathy etc

I havent quite found this in myself but my brothers and sisters have dyspraxia and they are all very big into the arts. My older brother has gotten his poem published in the news paper and my older sister is a very good artist.

Let me know if anyone else has these interests or has experienced this sort of thing

I guess it kinda makes sense but I am not that much of a artist or spend that much time doing arty stuff etc - however I have come up with some ushual 'creative' ideas before.
I just think that beceuse of my bad experance with art and creative things (often down to dyspraxicia) then I have deciced not to realy spend much time with this side of things - like you I havent realy found this.

My son is 15 and had a fantastic imagination on writing stories when he was younger, now he builds computer games and has been offered an internship when he leaves school. Whilst he is not academic in any shape or form, his creative side of the brain is working just fine

This is cool! and i think in my case this has some truth in it - I'm a maths student but I've always loved art. Didn't take it as a subject at school because I am a disaster zone and I can't really do traditional art (like I can't hold a paintbrush properly - we all know that one), but I've done a lot painting commissions in the past - little did they know that I finger paint to get around the brush problems hahaha.

Also I draw now and then with my claw hand and the lines are wobbly but people think that's just my "style"... Hoping to emigrate to canada after i graduate and be an artist full time. dyspraxia's not all bad it seems!
