What Is Dyspraxia
Dyspraxia, is a neurological condition that affects how the brain plans and carries out movement. It’s not linked to intelligence, but it can make everyday tasks that involve coordination and organisation more difficult.
What To Expect From TDP?
At The Different Perspective (TDP), we’re shining a light on dyspraxia — bringing it out of the shadows and into everyday understanding.
This is only the beginning. Over the coming months, TDP will share:
- Real stories, real voices – honest experiences from people living with dyspraxia.
- Practical advice – tips for school, work, and everyday life that actually make a difference
- Awareness & understanding – resources to help society, employers, and educators see things through a new lens.
- Support options – exploring both tech and non-tech tools that can make life easier.
- Future possibilities – how AI and innovation can open doors for the dyspraxic community.
The Different Perspective is for anyone who wants to understand dyspraxia, share real experiences, and build a more inclusive world:
People with dyspraxia – to find relatable stories, practical advice, and a sense of community.
Families & friends – to better understand and support loved ones with dyspraxia.
Teachers & educators – to learn how to create more inclusive classrooms and support diverse learners.
Employers & colleagues – to discover ways to build more accessible, supportive workplaces.
Allies & curious minds – anyone who wants to see the world through a new lens and understand different ways of thinking, learning, and living.
Why I Haven’t Released TDP Until Now?
For a long time, I held back. I worried about being judged and didn’t feel confident enough to share this vision with the world.
Then I realised something important: I was judging myself more harshly than anyone else ever could.
If I felt this way, there must be others out there in the same boat — people waiting for a space like this, needing the support and understanding that TDP can bring.
That’s why I decided the time is now.
How Can Dyspraxia affect people?
Dyspraxia affects people in a mix of physical, cognitive, and emotional ways.
Coordination and movement – difficulty with balance, fine motor skills, or hand–eye coordination.
Organisation and planning – challenges with time management, sequencing tasks, and staying organised.
Speech and language – sometimes slower speech development or finding the right words.
Memory – short-term memory difficulties, especially with instructions or multi-step tasks.
Learning and processing – taking longer to process information or learn new skills.
Emotional wellbeing – feelings of frustration, low confidence, or anxiety linked to daily challenges.
Associated Conditions of Dyspraxia
Many people with dyspraxia also experience conditions such as anxiety, depression, autism, or ADHD. These can affect everyday life in different ways, from emotions and focus to organisation and social connections.
ADHD
ADHD
Dyspraxia and ADHD often overlap, with both affecting focus, organisation, and daily routines. While dyspraxia mainly impacts coordination and planning movements, ADHD adds challenges around attention and impulsivity. Together, they can make tasks more demanding but also highlight unique creativity and problem-solving strengths.
Anxiety
Anxiety
Dyspraxia and autism can co-occur, with both affecting social interaction, communication, and sensory processing. While dyspraxia primarily impacts movement and coordination, autism brings differences in thinking and behaviour. Understanding how they interact helps create tailored support that values individual strengths.
Autism
Autism
Dyspraxia and autism can co-occur, with both affecting social interaction, communication, and sensory processing. While dyspraxia primarily impacts movement and coordination, autism brings differences in thinking and behaviour. Understanding how this can help shape how others interact and help to create tailored support that values individual strengths.
Depression
Depression
The frustrations of living with dyspraxia, such as struggling with tasks others find simple, can sometimes contribute to feelings of low mood or depression. Recognising these challenges and building supportive environments is key to improving mental wellbeing and resilience. By increasing awareness of how dyspraxia and depression can interact, we can create more compassionate spaces where people feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.

Who Am I?
Hello World, My Name Is Tom and I was diagnosed with Dyspraxia at 4 Years old.
our goal with this project is to raise awareness and help others better understand what dyspraxia involves, how it affects individuals differently, and the challenges people face that are often invisible.
By sharing information, resources, and real experiences, The Different Perspective aims to build empathy, break down misconceptions, and celebrate the resilience and talents of people with dyspraxia.
Ultimately, this is about giving dyspraxia the recognition it deserves—so that people who live with it feel seen, supported, and valued in society.
Living with dyspraxia can be challenging, but you don’t have to face it alone.
