Warren Fried tells Newsweek about growing up with developmental dyspraxia in this original essay.
It wasn't until some very nice people in a small cathedral city in the south east of England, gave me the key to addressing what one of the richest nations in the world could not.
Developmental dyspraxia encompasses more than just motor issues. The diagnoses spoke to every single one of my problems; motor, memory, judgment, processing and function, sensory and language deficits, dyscalculia, and—I'm still sorry, Mr. Shank of the second-grade—an inability to write coherently called dysgraphia.
Although I had obtained a diagnosis, at this point I was still drinking. Drinking heavily was normal among my peers and I was using alcohol as a crutch to apply my social skills. I would regularly buy cans of cheap beer, and drink three in my room before heading to the student bar to drink more. But I have been on a continuous journey to master my life using these tools, and am learning to help others with my condition. I wanted to see to it that no other kids in the U.S. had to endure what I did, so I started a national charity called Dyspraxia USA.
Through my organization, I hope to educate children, their caregivers, and everyone who comes into contact with children who have the condition. Kids with dyspraxia are not lazy or defiant, they will have good and bad days like anyone else. They have a lifelong neurological condition that will continue to affect them throughout their lives, but they too can succeed beyond their wildest dreams.
