Dyspraxia Magazine

🚨 We have updated our Writer's Guidelines! 📜

We often receive a large number of articles which have a high detection of being written by AI.

📖 To ensure our readers are reading content that has been written authentically, and to ensure that, as a business, we are not penalised for sharing AI content, we are now adding a strict rule within our guidelines regarding AI content.

🤖 We understand that those new to writing find the use of AI to help get their thoughts into words helpful. We will always assist writers to help them develop their writing skills while sharing what's on their minds.

⏳ However, AI content requires us to be working tirelessly to ensure these articles are heavily edited to no longer resemble AI writing and be more human. We just don't have the time to be doing this, which is the reason for adding this new rule.

🧡 Dyspraxia Magazine is owned and run by one person who works a full-time job, and a selection of volunteers who offer their time when they can. Meaning everyone involved is a volunteer with little time to spare. Recently, a lot of this time has been spent rewriting AI articles.

📩 If you would like to see our updated guidelines before creating any new writing submissions to us, then reach out via email.

🧠 DYSPRAXIA: A Small Insight That Could Make a Big Difference

This poster shows just a few signs that may be associated with dyspraxia/DCD (Developmental Coordination Disorder).

💡 There’s so much more to dyspraxia than what can fit on a single poster. But sometimes, seeing even a small glimpse of something relatable can spark realisation, understanding… or even change someone’s life.

🙌 Please share this post: Someone in your network might recognise themselves or a loved one for the very first time.

Hello, my name is Ceri. I come from a small village in Pembrokeshire near the seaside town of Tenby, Wales. I’m 29 years old and I have dyspraxia.

🌞Summer is a time to enjoy the sunshine, but for dyspraxic people, staying safe in the sun can come with its own set of unique challenges.

🏖Applying sun cream is an important part of protecting your skin, but when coordination and spatial awareness don’t come naturally, it can be tricky to know if you’ve covered every exposed area.

🌟 Excited to Exhibit at the National Neurodiversity Show – Tomorrow in Coventry! 🌟

I am absolutely thrilled to be exhibiting at the National Neurodiversity Show in Coventry tomorrow! It’s such a privilege to be part of an event that brings together so many incredible organisations, professionals, and individuals passionate about neurodiversity. 💜

We can’t wait to meet new faces, connect with others who care deeply about inclusion, and introduce more people to Dyspraxia Magazine, a platform built to amplify dyspraxic voices, share lived experiences, and raise awareness about developmental coordination disorder (DCD).

If you’re attending, please come and say hello! We’d love to chat, hear your story, and share more about the work we’re doing to celebrate and support the dyspraxic community.

Let’s make tomorrow a day full of meaningful conversations, connections, and change. 💫

Not joining in doesn’t mean you’re lazy.
It means you know your limits, and that’s a strength. 💪

For many dyspraxic people, physical activities like sports, dancing, or group games can be painful, overwhelming, or even humiliating, not because we don’t try, but because our bodies move differently.

⚠️ You’re allowed to:

✅ Say no

✅ Set boundaries

✅ Adapt things to work for you

You don’t have to prove anything to anyone.

✨ Self-awareness is not laziness.
✨ Protecting your energy is not weakness.

Let’s raise awareness for the invisible sides of dyspraxia, not just the clumsiness people expect, but the daily decision-making that goes unseen.
