I am 25 years old and have severe motor and verbal dyspraxia (dyslexia and dyscalculia too and a peppering of ASD). I have always struggled to learn anything new. It's like I know what to do but I can't make my muscles and limbs do what I am asking. The same with my speech. I have to think and rehearse everything I say and it takes me a long time to process information so I get lost easily. Riding a bicycle takes good coordination, balance and perception and all of those things are severely compromised for me, so cycling is a much greater challenge than for most people. I am a sunny, positive bloke but get very anxious easily. I work as a volunteer in three different places in my community and that keeps me busy and gives me purpose. People don't realise how much I struggle because there is nothing to see. My Mum says that because I am so nice I can't see any bad in other people and that makes me vulnerable. I have been at the bad end of some really bad victimisation and exploitation in the past by people who said they were my friends. It was a very bad time for us and now social services have to help me to live safely. i still love people though and adore anything to do with musical theatre. I have been in three productions already this year!  Dyspraxia is a hidden disability that is surprisingly common but very much misunderstood. The Dyspraxia Foundation is the only National Charity devoted  to raising awareness and so it is vital it continues to survive. Please help me to raise some much needed funds.
