The Verbivore talks about her experience with learning about dyspraxia and mentions that she’d never even heard the word before two (ish) years ago and that it’s a type of neurodivergence that’s not as well known. Here are some of the resources that she‘s found helpful in her journey:

- Dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk Article “Dyspraxia at a glance”

- YouTube Video "Rewiring Dyspraxia from the Brain | Farah Nanji | TEDxLuxembourgCity”

- YouTube Video “Dyspraxic and Fantastic! | Ellie Madeira | TEDxCCGrammarSchool”

- Attitudemag.com article “What is Dyspraxia? Clumsy Child Syndrome”

The Verbivore mentions Morgan Harper Nichols and creatives like her that are unmasking and showing up vulnerably authentic. Here is one of her posts from Instagram about her experience:
