It saddens me to confirm that there will be no winter publication this quarter. I experienced redundancy from my day job and have been too busy learning my new job.
Dyspraxia Magazine is not my full-time job so it had to take a back seat in the meantime.
It also meant that I was unable to contact anyone who applied for the volunteering roles. I know how keen you have been, it disappoints even me I was unable to progress with your applications.
But in spring I will work hard for the next publication and on hiring.
If you would like to contribute your time and writing for the spring publication it would mean to world to me while I get back into the swing of things and pick up my relationship with our writers.

Thanks for how understanding you have all been, your support means the world.

Thanks, Krystal-Bella x

Dyspraxia or DCD (developmental coordination disorder) has had more than its fair share of causing issues in my daily life.

Myth Busted: Dyspraxia is NOT gender-biased! 🚫✨

👋💖 Today, we want to shed some light on an old misconception about dyspraxia that has caused harm to so many incredible women out there. 🌟 It's time to break free from stereotypes and embrace the truth! 💪💗

Many of you may have heard the misguided belief that dyspraxia is more common in boys. But guess what? That's just an outdated myth that needs to be debunked once and for all! 🙅‍♀️✨

Multiple studies, both academic and non-academic, have provided concrete evidence that dyspraxia affects both women and men equally. In fact, some research even suggests that dyspraxia might be more prevalent among women. 📚🔬

So, why is it important to share this information? Because perpetuating the false notion that dyspraxia is primarily a "male" condition only serves to undermine the struggles of dyspraxic women. 😔

We want to emphasize the importance of open-mindedness when it comes to understanding conditions like dyspraxia. By acknowledging the diverse range of people affected by dyspraxia, we can better support and empower one another. 💪💜

If you want to dive further into the topic, the link below is a thought-provoking article showcasing surveys and studies that explore the prevalence of dyspraxia based on s*x/gender. It's an eye-opener, trust me! 👀📖

Let's stand together and challenge harmful stereotypes! 💪💕 The more we speak out and educate others, the closer we get to creating an inclusive and supportive world for everyone, regardless of their gender or s*x.

🌍✨Remember, dyspraxia does not discriminate! Let's embrace our uniqueness and support each other on this beautiful journey. 🤗💫

In February 2021 we performed a survey that was incredibly insightful and allowed us to see data on how dyspraxia diagnoses are provided based on s*x and age along with ethnicity and country of residency the data also helped debunk some stereotypes. As this piece of writing is referring to a study w...
