In one of my more SpecTaCULaR moments of cack-handedness, I thwacked the front of my ankle* ~so hard~ that It's still numb a minute later.
Ya'll, if the area bruises it's going to be a DOOZY

@lowqualityfacts my #dyspraxia always made them a nightmare…
…only worse when i started driving for real…
…but i had enough self-awareness to tale myself out of the game

Learning #Disability Week: Working with #dyslexia and #dyspraxia
Senior Paramedic Mark Plant is sharing his experience of living and working with dyslexia and dyspraxia, neurodivergent conditions that can affect reading, writing, organisation and coordination. His experience highlights the importance of understanding, workplace support and speaking up about individual needs.

Honestly I don't know how everyone does it. Writing on my phone is so tiring. I have about forty five minutes blocked out a day to try to catch up on my text messages and it's sometimes not enough. And it's tiring. Part of it is because I have trouble manipulating my phone. The precision needed to type is hard for me. But like also... It's a lot of time! How do people have this time?? What's your secret??

Hahahaha lesson 6 and he’s basically strongly recommended I transfer driving school so I can do an automatic only license 💀 #dyspraxia #driving
So a very positive update - explained it to the instructor, he now is getting better at understanding actual nerves vs just poor motor control. My right foot is cramped from all the work, which means I did a lot! Always a journey. #dyspraxia #driving
So sometimes, I doubt I have dyspraxia because I've had new labels since which explain a lot of the other weirdness. In addition, I try to live a life that works around it.
This has been massively disproven by a mere few hours in a car with dual controls. I have been told today I need to "take pills" or "weed" to relax (the latter I hope was jokingly, as it's as bad as drink driving!). The instructor is misreading me controlling my body in its own weird way as nerves and clumsiness. I explain, he does not understand. So I probably need to fess up and stop using euphemisms.
I did initially just explain it as "I'm slow learning physical movements" and "I'm clumsy" and "my brain knows things but it is bad at making my body do things" but it's really hard getting him to understand that this will just be different for me, this is not psychologically caused, and I have the money to keep going, and we can check in over time to see if this is even possible.
On that note, if anyone has resources in Portuguese about dyspraxia, maybe even as it pertains to driving, would be amazing. I've drafted some notes to go to the school already. It seems my verbal explanations are not enough.
I have been trying to do things in the evening with my hands that aren't doomscrolling and/or being on late work calls. Behold, paint markers and pebbles! This is something I find difficult because I have v poor fine motor control and consistency with my physical control but it has been really rewarding to concentrate on in a low stakes way. Plus, the colours come out so deep and satisfying.
@autistics #ActuallyAutistic i'm working on a #dyspraxia lunch & learn at my work and trying to collect anonymous lived experience testimonials for the event
since #dyspraxia is not as widely known as other neurodivergent conditions, i only have two so far
if you are willing to share this poll it be a huge help
even though the form asks for “Your Name*", entering in any text into the field will allow to be submitted -- anonymity is more than encouraged
Research into MBTI® type, neurodivergence, and neurodiversity - A report from The Myers-Briggs Company [2024]
This seems to be an interesting and quite recent study that differenciates [in a very respectful way!] between participants that self-diagnosed and those who have an externally validated diagnose.

https://theconversation.com/people-with-dyspraxia-are-at-high-risk-of-falling-and-its-too-often-overlooked-256134. Don't I know it! I have been feeling very wobbly after my recent fall in a street near my home, & have very nearly fallen several times since in my home. Add a lesion on my left parietal lobe (the cause of my #epilepsy) to my age & the #dyspraxia, & you have the perfect combination, given that the left parietal lobe deals with one's sense of balance.

#Dyspraxia — yet another ND condition that we know almost nothing about. Just like autism, ADHD, bipolar,... 😥
https://theconversation.com/dyspraxia-why-children-with-developmental-coordination-disorder-in-the-uk-are-still-being-failed-260853. "When a child struggles to tie their shoelaces, write legibly or stay upright during PE, it can be dismissed as clumsiness or lack of effort. But for around 5% of UK #children, these challenges stem from a neurodevelopmental condition known as developmental coordination disorder (DCD), also known as #dyspraxia." I know all about this - because I'm dyspraxic, as well as #autistic & epileptic. Dyspraxia is a life-long #disability - it doesn't disappear with childhood.

When told why don’t I ‘simply ride a bike’, I remind people that I am the person who on more than one occasion hit a lamp post while walking and sober.
(That’s if the fact that I don’t remember a day in my life when I didn’t have a bruise, burn, cut or sore (most of which I don’t even notice getting because of how I am used to them) is not enough)
Over the past few months I have come to the conclusion that I have dyspraxia. It seems to be a multifaceted condition, affecting thinking as well as manual tasks. I struggle with tying my shoelaces, I couldn't learn cursive writing and so on. I gave up driving because I never felt sure where I was on the road and it was just impossible to figure out which lever did the windscreen wipers or the indicators. Anyone got some dyspraxia top tips? #dyspraxia #actuallyAutistic
When I was growing up, I remember how much I was infantilised so much esp in terms of not being able to do what neurotypical kids were able to do like go to sleep overs at friends houses, not allowed to go to friends house on my own, not allowed to walk to school on my own, not allow to get a shower on my own (cuz apparently I could not do it right) not allowed to have my own bank account (until I demanded my dad to revoke the ownership of my account to me) and also requiring teaching assistants everywhere and given easy school work (despite being more capable of doing work neurotypicals do AND I HAD TO DEMAND TO TEACHERS THAT I COULD DO SUCH WORK) etc etc
All cuz I was deemed “special needs” aka too incapable of doing things “normal people” can and therefore I wasn’t meant to have a life I have, cuz I was never meant to be independent, due to stigma I’ve faced not cuz of other but by how my own people, supposed “my family” were meant to care for me, yet did far more harm in general.
I remember the bullying I received and being called “retarded” very often and how much it hurt so much, I didn’t even tell my next school, that I had autism cuz I was so ashamed of it due to the trauma I had with it and I remember just wanting to like get rid of it so bad, I was doing anything to get rid of
When I realised this now, and I think about the problematic things I did and wild things I did in the past. It just makes sense. No wonder I was completely out of control, cuz of how people have poorly treated me and I was acting out as a way to gain control of my shitty surroundings and myself.
We need to stop treating people who have disabilities and invisible disabilities as if they aren’t capable of anything, cuz honestly we are far more capable than you think and the more restrictions and discrimination we face, the more trauma and resentment it will bring, which harms future generations too.
And also stop fucking babying us as if we don’t know shit either.
I’m sick and tired of it.
The organisation my wife volunteers for has finally moved all its volunteer training online.
It's very clever, very cheap & extremely unfreindly.
The login initially assumes you are on the organisation's payroll and located within its premises and on their intranet - once I'd worked out how to get around that, it appears that it's impossible to stay logged in to do several courses at one sitting - you need to log in each time.
I'm not sure that the training itself has been run past any disability checks - Sacha has a degree of dyspraxia and she has really struggled with the training websites.
The manager is dismissive - the attitude comes across (meant or otherwise) as 'you're only a volunteer, so what?'
She's seriously thinking of giving up on the volunteering that she really loves and - I believe- does make a difference to a number of young lives. It's very niche - there's no alternative for her to move to.

On Tuesday I had the privilege of speaking at Oxford’s EDI Roundtable on #Neurodiversity. It’s inspiring to see the university breaking down barriers so neurodivergent students and staff feel they belong and thrive. More than 140 attendees joined thought-provoking discussions on policy, experience and inclusion. Fantastic to see this momentum continue! Huge thanks to all involved.

And a quick and lazy image I made for work, which anyone is welcome to use if they if they find it useful.
