okay, minor vent, but can we take a moment to consider how genuinely unnerving having dyspraxia can be? there’s nothing quite as awful as knowing you have to go somewhere after getting off the bus, and that it’s not vaguely in the vicinity, but beyond that, you have no clue how far away you are, nor which way to go. you know you’re in the wrong place, but don’t know where the hell to start to find the right one. there’s something incredibly disconcerting about getting lost in the same city you’ve lived in all your life, especially when it’s barely a city so much as a gangly town with limbs too long to befit its old name. it’s genuinely frustrating to have no idea where you are relative to another place, and all you can do is keep walking and try not to feel.

i know that the existence of gps eliminates any major risks associated with this, but even so, it’s incredibly unsettling.

Bc this trick is still working so well for me, I'm going to rant about the problems with positive affirmations, and why my trick is better.

You see the problem is, that changing

"I'm the worst!"

To

"I'm the best!"

When something goes wrong, doesn't solve anything. For several reasons

It's still lying to yourself

It's still reinforcing the idea of bad and good oversimplified into a binary

It's still internalizing that you were the main factor in whatever happened

Can be ruined by interpretating as sarcasm

So when something slips from your fingers, I suggest something much more fun.

Blame gravity

Something falls, bc of gravity. It literally wouldn't have happened if gravity didn't exist.

Now that is only part of the trick.

You also have to pretend that gravity is a trickster god. Bc for this to work, you need to see gravity as a trick.

Once it's a trick, it becomes impressive. Like a basketball bouncing around the rim for forever only to fall off the wrong side at the last moment.

Say you drop something after fumbling to catch it for a ridiculous amount of time. When it hits the floor, it's no longer you failed. It's, gravity was better at this game than you. But it was a close game, so close that you can't even be mad. Just impressed.

Anyways blaming your failures on gravity as if it's a trickster god has many better reasons for why it's my favorite coping mechanism

It's not lying bc gravity is heavily involved in more than just dropping things if you think about it

It takes you out of the binary bc trickster gods are neither good nor evil. If you want you can also thank gravity when something goes well

It's acknowledging that there were reasons outside your control that heavily affected the outcome

Cannot be ruined by sarcasm. In fact can often be improved with sarcasm. Sassing gravity is very fun. I recommend the GLaDOS slow clap.

Designed with a disabled person in mind (literally developed this bc of my dyspraxia)

Of course this is limited to things that are affected by gravity, but once you get creative, you can blame gravity for almost any physical thing happening.

So blame gravity today!

Im not just clumsy

I have DCD or developmental coordination disorder.(i prefer dcd over dyspraxia) and its been incredibly limiting. the biggest problem for me has been fatigue, some days i become literally paralyzed and cannot move. Ive needed wheelchairs many times in my life for this and even when I'm able to move my body it just doesn't move correctly. Ill try to grab something and my arm just shoots in the opposite direction. I have pain all the time because im constantly getting hurt, I struggle with the most basic of tasks. It affects every aspect of my physical ability to get around and even after years of physical therapy I still cant do nearly as much as an able-bodied person can. I cant sit in a chair without handles because I will fall out and I need to spend every second of everyday physically tensing myself so I dont fall over. I cant drive beacuse i have no depth perception, I have zero sense of time passing or object permanence and it is a living hell. I cannot use a phone and it takes me forever to learn any kind of basic skill. I want to see this side of dyspraxia represented, not just the clumsy/cant ride a bike side.

ok i didn’t know there are so many official types of apraxia!! :o last time i searched it up years ago there wasn’t this much info!! (organized list see below)

source

[id: a screenshot that reads: “There are several kinds of apraxia, which may occur alone or together. The most common is buccofacial or orofacial apraxia, which causes the inability to carry out facial movements on command such as licking lips, whistling, coughing, or winking. Other types of apraxia include limb-kinetic apraxia (the inability to make fine, precise movements with an arm or leg), ideomotor apraxia (the inability to make the proper movement in response to a verbal command), ideational apraxia (the inability to coordinate activities with multiple, sequential movements, such as dressing, eating, and bathing), verbal apraxia (difficulty coordinating mouth and speech movements), constructional apraxia (the inability to copy, draw, or construct simple figures), and oculomotor apraxia (difficulty moving the eyes on command). Apraxia may be accompanied by a language disorder called aphasia. Corticobasal ganglionic degeneration is a disease that causes a variety of types of apraxia, especially in elderly adults.” end id]

an organized list of types mentioned here:

buccofacial / orofacial apraxia: causes the inability to carry out facial movements on command (such as licking lips, whistling, coughing, or winking)

limb-kinetic apraxia: the inability to make fine, precise movements with an arm or leg

ideomotor apraxia: the inability to make the proper movement in response to a verbal command

ideational apraxia: the inability to coordinate activities with multiple, sequential movements, such as dressing, eating, and bathing

verbal apraxia: difficulty coordinating mouth and speech movements

constructional apraxia: the inability to copy, draw, or construct simple figures

oculomotor apraxia: difficulty moving the eyes on command

& it says Apraxia may be accompanied by a language disorder called aphasia!! aphasia not a type of apraxia but i have both i didn’t realize there is connection!!!

different places have different definitions of difference (or lack there of) between dyspraxia and apraxia. this website say dyspraxia milder form of apraxia. but some places specify apraxia is full loss of skilled performer movement and dyspraxia is partial difficulty. other places say dyspraxia refer to general movement and apraxia refer to speech mostly (don’t really agree to this bc this is only thinking about apraxia of speech).

specifically DCD (& dyspraxia) is definitely developmental but apraxia can be brain injury related i think :o but there is also childhood apraxia of speech, which, hence name again, childhood, developmental (if you get it later in life it would be called acquired apraxia of speech)

so: difference between apraxia/dyspraxia/DCD, still a bit of mystery for me, don’t take my word for it

if you're going to thank me for adding an ID to your post because you're OP, add it to the original instead, in plain text and without a read more.

This ensures that everyone can find an accessible version of the post + you can make any corrections you want to.

So, I’m not exactly trying to make a statement or start discourse here, but I guess I’m just getting my experience out because I don’t see it represented a lot and I also wanna know if anyone else relates.

I have dyspraxia and I’m… really sick of it being reduced down to clumsy disorder and nothing else. Yes, I know that’s technically the main diagnostic criteria, but there hasn’t been a single time in my life where I’ve felt genuinely limited by having poor motor skills. It definitely shows itself in subtle ways, and I’ve had a neuropsych evaluation and poor motor skills are very evident in the results, but at the same time I feel like that’s the least of my issues when it comes to this condition. For me the mental struggles and other symptoms are the things that cause me the most grief, yet I swear they’re never mentioned, or when they are they’re mentioned very briefly. And it’s honestly so alienating.

For me personally, the mental disorganization is the worst part of this. I genuinely cannot accurately describe what it’s like feel trapped in your own head because your thoughts either don’t make sense or it’s too exhausting to try and sit down to make sense of them. So I just don’t communicate most of the time, which only adds to that trapped feeling.

Related to the previous point but my word recall abilities aren’t all the way there and it ties in to expressing myself being extremely difficult.

My processing speed is also pretty bad. Sometimes thinking feels painful, somehow. I hate having to put forth copious amounts of mental effort to just think. I can’t keep up in conversations and idk it just sucks.

There are some other things that I deal with but don’t impact me quite as much, such as: needing routines/structure to function because the world AND my head are just absolute disasters so having one thing be organized is nice, having some mild sensory issues, and I swear there’s other stuff but I don’t have the words right now and hey that’s what having your brain be a disorganized mess does to you.

I also don’t personally struggle with this as my memory somehow remained untouched, but I do see it mentioned occasionally, and it’s that a lot of people with dyspraxia struggle with short term memory.

Then when I try to find anything about this disorder or join communities it’s just about motor skills, and nothing else. Occasionally memory issues do get brought up but I can’t even relate to that either.

This is not a post trying to shame dyspraxic people whose biggest issue is genuinely their motor skills btw, because that’s their lived experience with this disorder and they’re not wrong for wanting to share their experience.

But I don’t even know how to end this lol I guess I’m just lamenting the fact that I rarely see posts about dyspraxia that I actually feel represented in. And this is coming from someone who’s been tested and diagnosed, so I doubt I don’t actually have it or something. Idk I guess I just wish more people knew that it was more than just having problems with motor skills, you know? I also wanna see if anyone relates at all because I’ve always felt super alone in this since I got diagnosed.

Also I have no idea if this makes sense at all or if I made my point accurately at all </3

This shouldn’t have to be said but I’m not trying to start discourse at all so don’t clown on this post 👍 also non dyspraxics can reblog to spread awareness just don’t speak over me/us

It's important to remember that not all physical disabilities are visible and just because they don't require the use of a walking cane, crutches, a wheelchair or prosthetic limbs, it doesn't mean that they don't affect us. In the early summer of 1998, I was diagnosed with one of said invisible disabilities called developmental coordination disorder or dyspraxia, which got me in a lot of trouble throughout primary school and still causes problems for me today

What is the difference between speech difficulties from Autism and speech difficulties from Dyspraxia?

(Yes I could google this but I probably wouldn't understand the answer)
