Looking to speak to fellow dyspraxics in Bristol, UK.

Post by Chloe_Hannah_92 »

Is anyone here from Bristol, UK (or nearby) and would be comfortable sharing their experiences of dyspraxia with me?

I have dyspraxia myself and am studying a Masters in Journalism. As part of my final major project, I’ve decided to do a ‘deep dive’ into dyspraxia, to highlight the impact of the condition, raise awareness and try to explore why the condition doesn’t seem to receive the same amount of ‘airtime’ as other neurodivergent conditions.

As part of it, I would like to speak to a range of people about their experiences of dyspraxia. It would involve me asking questions about your lived experience of the condition (or perhaps your child's). This project will not be published anywhere – it would only be seen by my tutors, but I would need to record the interview in person. I’m also hoping to take video footage (almost a ‘day in the life of') to capture the effects of the condition.

Would anyone be comfortable being a part of the project? Happy to send over more information via DM. Thanks in advance.

P.S. I sought permission from the mods to post this.

I may not be from Bristol, but I find your project fascinating. As someone with dyspraxia, I understand the need to bring more awareness to it. We're frequently overlooked in favor of other neurodivergent conditions. The concept of a 'day in the life of' video is intriguing. I'm open to discussing it further and possibly participating. Please send me a direct message with more information when you can. Wishing you success with your Master's project!

I live with mild dyspraxia in Wales, somewhat near and would be happy to help.
