I do find myself getting on my ‘high horse’ and shouting at her asking why she hasn’t answered my other two questions.<br /><br />I then reflect on these moments afterwards and realise I should take her Dyspraxia into account. <br /><br />Sometimes her sentences and conversations make no sense to me and I feel myself asking her what she means, this is down to the Dyslexia and again I realise this is something I have to understand more and support her with it.<br /><br />She gets very anxious and uptight about certain things but she does not let dyspraxia and dyslexia get her down too much and she doesn’t hide behind either. <br /><br />She is a support worker so supports others and she is the most kind and caring person I know.<br /><br />She likes to make other people happy and nothing is too much trouble for her.<br /><br />She is quirky and unique, she is an inspiration to me and she summed it up perfectly when she told me that living with Dyspraxia is an ability not a disability. <br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10858586151868741426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942530666573853621.post-22965631382153924782015-01-21T20:27:42.669+00:002015-01-21T20:27:42.669+00:00Hey Rosie, I love your blog and what you write abo...Hey Rosie, I love your blog and what you write about so I've nominated you for a Liebster Award!
