A return to blogging It’s been a while since my last official post and I was planning on coming back sooner. However a blend of situations have happened (both negative and positive). But with all that aside I was finally able to complete this blog post that I’ve been planning and promising. Toxic People To … Read more
I love analogies! I use analogies, similes, and metaphors a lot, mostly in my written projects but occasionally when I talk as well. Explaining situations or a certain topic is something I can find difficult at times and so if I can make a comparison it gets my thoughts across much clearer and easier. These … Read more
Dyspraxic Characters (A new page!) This is a follow-up from my last post; dyspraxicfantastic.com/post-111-dyspraxic-characters/ where I went into detail about the characters who are potentially dyspraxic (at least from my perspective). I had the thought that this topic holds great potential that I could tap into for my blog. The current problem is as my blog expands … Read more
Dyspraxic Characters (or really, the lack of Dyspraxic Characters): Dyspraxic characters; where are they? There are certainly many theories of characters that could have Dyspraxia (something I’ve gone into more depth later in this post). Dyslexia, Autism and other disabilities only get a few mentions here and there so it isn’t surprising that Dyspraxia gets completely … Read more

The positive points are overshadowed by the stigma that comes with the territory of a label. It is these positives and negatives that make us unique people … Read more
5 Years of Dyspraxia Blogging This month marks the fifth anniversary of DyspraxicFantastic going live; it has been quite the adventure so far. I can’t believe it’s been over half a decade since I started it all off! Hasn’t been a smooth trip in any sense of the word, but each obstacle has made me … Read more
Inspiration is the main focus here, but this post is going to be very different and unusual from what I usually do. The people who give us inspiration There are people who give us inspiration and help us with difficult times. Sometimes it is people in our own lives – I’ve talked before about the … Read more
“The Beast from the East” For once a topical post from me! I hail from the south-western part of the UK and as such we don’t get much snow. As expected, the northern parts of England and beyond get a fair amount of snow. When the southern part gets hit it’s mainly on the moors. … Read more
Pokémon has been a franchise that’s been going for over 20 years, and with the launch of Pokémon Go it brought it back into the limelight, both for positive and negative reasons. I did a chapter on Pokémon Go for my ‘Dyspraxia and Gaming‘ page, but I have decided to move its content to a post … Read more
