Summary:
"Written by a teenager with dyspraxia, this is a humorous and inspiring practical
guide
for young adults with dyspraxia and those around them trying to get to grips with the physical, social and psychological
chaos
caused by developmental co-ordination disorders (DCDs). In her own conversational style, Victoria Biggs explains the primary effects of dyspraxia disorganization, clumsiness and poor short-term memory as well as other difficulties that
dyspraxic
teenagers encounter, such as bullying and low self-esteem. Peppered with personal stories from other teens, this award-winning book offers down-to-earth advice on a wide range of adolescent issues, from puberty, health and hygiene to family life and making friends. Includes an update from the author on her university and work experiences and how dyspraxia affects her now as an adult"--Provided by publisher.
