Explaining what Dyspraxia is and feels like

[meastro2k]

I havent been tested but i do as you do, switch the words arond and to the exact same thing with the logical thinking that i say something that might be logical to me but the other persons dont get it :( I feel for you dude!

[holycrapwtf]

why the fuck is there a Nickelodeon commercial before this

[damouk23]

I have dysphasia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, Irlen Syndrome, and deafness. I have been very lucky as I am at university doing IT which is very difficult for me, and I am a Vice President of a national charity. I have faced headon with my disabilities and find people don't understand my disabilities and think that I'm a freak for having it, but being at university is showing my critics that I am able to do something - especially if I get the degree and get a well paid job after it.

@damouk23 Good for you damouk23! Show them what-for!

heyy im 13 n i have verbal and motor dyspraxia :) when you were talking about the sides of the brain and stuff ithink im the opposite to you:) ifind things like maths really easy but things like art and stuff where you have to be creative i really struggle with :L and to be honest, idont think its that easy for someone with dyspraxia to explain what its like because they dont know what its like not having it....does that make sense?? :L anyways ilove your videos :) xx

i know how hard it is , im 34 have never been tested but feel like im the only one

[mrofficial1982]

@MrPickup31 Hey MrPickup31! That is often the case, if someone feels that something is not quite right and they go undiagnosed, there is that feeling of loneliness. But at least you want to get tested and want to find out, which is a positive. I can't talk about this fully in the comments, so I will talk about it in my next video. So keep a look out.

So, if someone gave you a math problem, it would be difficult for you? But would making it a word problem (e.g. "If Tom has ten apples...") make it easier for you? This is very interesting; thank you for the video.

[mrofficial1982]

@ViciousOval Hey ViciousOval! Well....thats a hard question to answer. Yes Maths is not my strong point in general, the thing is every 'learning difference' is not just about dyspraxia, someone could be dyspraxic, dyslexic and apraxic. It's very difficult to say, I can't talk about this fully in the comments, I will talk about it in my next video.

Hello :-)

I'm from Norway, and has a son, 4 years old who has all the signs of apraxia.J sat in deep concentration to get with me what you said.Could you please tell me in writing how it feels for a child? I think the important thing is to show that you understand and try to understand.For example, ask the child if it is sad, angry, or happy.Try to find out what it wants.

Thank you sir so much for posting this. It means a lot 2 me (as do most of these videos) becuz it helps me 2 assist my 7 yr old nephew how 2 get on w/ life. Live his life, w/ his condition, in joy. :) He was diagnosed @ the age of 3 & I remember my sister being utterly devastated thinking his condition was going 2 get better & go away-not something we'd have 2 help him out w/ the rest of his life. I conveyed 2 her-now we know what 2 do, we have a start. He's made excellent progress w/ therapy.

In addition, I'd to to ask you & anyone out there what helped them? To speak? To complete certain tasks, to kicking & catching a ball (I've bought sensory ones), balance, just normal things..? I ask because I see his efforts-he never gives up. I also see the pain when others think he's stupid, lazy, or arrogant; his frustration when he can't communicate what he wants or do what he's telling his body to do. He's only 7 so I'd like to see him catch up in class & be able to communicate w/ others.

[Tacoflavoredkiss1]

I have dyspraxia and a lot of people look at me like I'm stupid and weird because I have a really overactive imagination and it's hard. But I can write songs and things quite easily and be really creative which a lot of people who don't have this disorder don't get!

[StamfordMax]

@Tacoflavoredkiss1 I relate entirely. The best thing about me is my imagination (I've written about 5 novel length stories and hundreds of short stories), but the majority of people think i am thick because simple instructions are difficult to follow through :( At work this is particuarly bad

[Tacoflavoredkiss1]

@StamfordMax Yes same here, I have many "blonde" moments because I get lost when people explain things to me and I often feel quite stupid haha :(

[mrofficial1982]

@Tacoflavoredkiss1 I can relate to Tacoflavouredkiss1 I called Brain Scramble Moments, because it feel like the brain has swapped over. No need to feel stupid!! WHO CARES!!

[mrofficial1982]

@StamfordMax Wow that's amazing StamfordMax, I find it really difficult to write paragraphs of everything I SALUTE YOU MAN!!

[WhateverNWhatNot]

@Tacoflavoredkiss1 How beautiful! My nephew writes complicated music notes & his music class thinks he doesn't grasp the concept of music. He could be the next Mozart!
