It also affect your  your gross motor coordination, meaning your legs and arms don't do what there told to do. you have problems with spaceshel  awareness you cant juge distances at all. It a life long condition it recognized that it is a disability. dyspraxia is a hidden disability which makes it hard to under stand how it dose affect people and by the way for people who don't no a disability is anything that affect you on a daly paces,

 Here is a inside to haw it has affected  me.

well its defiantly not been easy coping with having dyspraxia,i got diagnosed when I was 7. 

I got diagnosed with severe dyspraxia, I had  to go every  week to see a specialist to help me cope. I  had adapted knight and fork and adapted pen to write with. At the time when i was a kid i was a lot worse in menny. I could  never  concentrate or say still at all,i was allay hurting my self. Two years  in a row i have 10 admissions to hospital with different things like broken arms or leg or a concussion or something.

i remember this won time when i was in school i was on cruchers and i managed to drip up oder them and when to hospital with a concussion. i was  a walking disaster and i defiantly say am a hazard to my self and to other who dear to be around me . even wright from when i was a kid they use to call me a bull in a China shop i knock every thing over and brake things with one signal movement. to be honest it still happens now, at new year i when to give my sister a hug and knocked her glass out of her hand.I used to be so inpatient and heavy handed i brake my toys and pencils and pens because i had such a firm grip. it was horrid i had to have help me get dress even when i was eleven, helping me do buttons  and doing my sip up. 

 Over the years i have lurnt to adapt and cope with it, i no i have to concentrate intently  on every thing i do. like walking it one of the most difficult things for me. that and trying to multi task, i cant walk in a straight line and i walk in to thinks because i find it difficult trying to look where you going look down so you don't trip up. how do people do it at the same time.i am either tripping up or falling in to things. it were me out mentally trying to concentrate so hard so you don't brake or hurt your self every day thing an be difficult for me to do. doing buttons on clothes opening, tins cutting things up act. 

at time in the past i have got depressed and lost confidence because i thought i could do the thing that every won else was doing. my parent tried to protect me from my self by not letting me do things. I think at the time every won was convinced i would ever be able to do thing like every won else and i be very limited to what i could go and do. I didn't  wont to be treated differently i just wonted to be like won else. I was bullied because i was different and kneed help that and how clumsy i was. I hated doing PE for this reson  every won would laugh at me and call me spaz a stupid retard bitch. they hurt me then say oh look Beth's been clumsy  again and laugh the really seams to enjoy making me look like a  fool. i hate the way people make fun of me because am so clumsy, it a thing i cant help.

this days i do have a laugh and make fun of my self for been so clumsy, walking in to bins and other object such as lamp posts and doors.

 But some i cant when 5 thing  or more go wrong in won day. I will feel like crying because it make me feel horrid  to be that clumsy. like the other day i walk in to a box at work it relly hurt 

then i face planted a lamppost  and cracked my screen on my phone. i tripped up offer my own feet and feel on the floor. spilt boiling hot tea on my foot as i was carrying it. It make feel  so bad i just wont to cry,it get to me how clumsy i am some time.

over the years my attitude has change i no longer let the dyspraxic side of me stoping me doing things. i just have to work ten time harder than people who don't have it. It not a barrier stopping me doing anything. you can do anything if you put your mind to it.

this is just won a count on how it effect people it can affect you in different ways depending on the person and there environment. 

the advice i give any won who has dyspraxia is not let it get to you and it turn in to a barrier. against you doing anything don't listen to people who don't have faith that you can do things.

 emrass it and laugh about it. and just remember it docent define you as a person it dosent mean you cant  go and do amazing things or that your not intelligent. There more to you than just the label. To any parent who have a  dyspraxic child, don't stop them doing thing, Encourage your kid to try anything and tell them it good to be different and to empress 

i hope you enjoy reading my blog and you under stand a pit more about what people like me go through. you want to now more go to the dyspraxia foundation web site.
