(First I want to say that in my country there is nothing "known" about dyspraxia and after weeks of research, I think nobody takes care.. so I found this page and now I'm very glad to ask an importaint question. Maybe my english is a bit ugly, because it is not my mother tongue.)
A few weeks earlier, I found out that my boyfriend has dyspraxia.
We are both 24 years old, Ive got my own appartment and he's living allready together with his family.
His litte cousins were at his house and asked for this school certificates (to compare the notes).
As I wanted to put the file back into the shelf, I found a page from a doctor / it was written for the armed forces (so its maybe the reason why it be there).
And I read that he's got dyspraxia and some problems with "ticks".
I'm honest - I had to google what is dyspraxia.
And it wasn't new for me... We are now 2 years a couple.. and I ever felt "there is something wrong with him"..
He couldn't speak very well, he is often gravel,
he ... I don't know how to explain but he hadn't any control about his body, often he makes some strange moves with his arms ..
Also he couldn't do things with his hands, like button up himself..
So I ever felt... Why I does this? But as I read and read this weeks, this should be really the answer.
But I really know that THE DON'T KNOW THAT HE HAVE GOT DYSPRAXIA.
His mother is allways "dont talk about that" / "my son is allways fine"... Its a difficult relationsship, but I know she is the type for "my son is healthy !"... we never talked about that, he never read that diagnostic paper...
Its so sad, because he is often struggeling with himself and this environment, like talking with strangers or making some sports ... ... and I can read in his face "why my body doesn't want to?"
It is a heavy burden
So I have to speak about with him - but I don't know how
