Hi there..

Post by DraconicFires »

Hello there, my name is Oliver, I have been diagnosed with dyspraxia, asd, and apergers traits since i was about 7? I am now 19. I work in a DIY store here in the UK, I like animals, gaming and talking to friends on discord.

I have mainly come here as a result of a way to understand my condition more, as when I was younger, I didnt really understand it.

Anyways, hello!

Don’t think/worry much. It is a rather common disorder that may affect a person’s ability to plan and also motor skills even the harry potter star, Daniel Radcliffe has it. Although it is said to have no cure, with some treatment and therapy a person can improve to a great extent.

Absolute rubbish

Use of terminology like brain disorder is offensive.

Dys means difficulty with
Praxis from Greek meaning doing

People living with Dyspraxia are not faulty or abnormal!

Please regard this as a formal warning
