Dyspraxia and Late Diagnosis with Rachael Elizabeth
Manage episode 353659067 series 2362729
Rachael Elizabeth is a powerflifter and a graphic designer, two things that require a lot of fine motor control. She is also a dyspraxic, which is something that hinders the motor control of those who live with it.
From humble beginings and a childhood with confusion, shame and regularly being labeled as "clumsy". Rachael only started digging deeper into why some of this may be as an adult.
Along the way she receieved a late diagnosis of ADHD, and through the neurodivergent community started to learn about dyspraxia.
Through this combination of diagnosis and self-diagnosis Rachael has learned to give herself some much needed compassion and become a powerful adovcate for the neurodivergent community in the process.
