Um and finally it can affect you socially too.
Like some dyspressive people will have difficulty interpreting nonverbal cues, body language, that kind of thing.
And dyspraxic children who may not have had the same opportunities to join in with their peers because so many of children's games are based around coordination, sports.
And they can have social problems in consequence of that.
There's a relationship in that um people with dyspraxia often do have sensory processing difficulties, but not all dyspraxic people do.
Um in my case I very much do.
Um I have hyper acute hearing, hyper acute sense of smell, um so I really struggle with certain physical environments, like a busy bus or or something like that.
Um but it isn't true for everyone with dyspraxia, although it is common.
In the UK it's a diagnosis in itself.
Um it can be diagnosed by a range of professionals.
In my case, as a teenager, I saw a clinical psychologist.
She assessed me and then she referred me to a neurologist at the hospital just because my difficulties are quite severe and she wanted to rule out that it wasn't anything degenerative.
So I had a brain scan and so on just to check there were no other issues.
And between them the neurologist and the psychologist diagnose dyspraxia.
And but you're right, the labels vary depending on the place.
And I know, for example, that people in the US who have my kind of pattern of difficulty often tend to get diagnosed with nonverbal learning difficulties.
Um whereas in the UK we don't really have that label at all.
Clinicians would just say dyspraxia.
And there are links with other conditions.
Um, there's quite a high rate of overlap with dyslexia with ADHD.
