Doctor who changed my life. To be specific, Ryan Sinclair of Jodie Whittaker’s thirteenth doctor, changed my life. Up until then, the word dyspraxia wasn’t in my vocabulary.
Right from young I was different. I couldn’t talk properly and I had no instinct on how to do anything. My dad had to teach me simple things, like how to kick a ball and how to run. My first time parents didn’t know I was different to other babies.
When I went to school, I knew I was different. I was always the one inviting others to my birthday parties and I never got invited to theirs. In P.E, I was last in every race and couldn’t throw a ball to save my life. Primary school was quite nice, really. I didn’t have any problems, until the boys grew up and thought girls were the spawn of Satan.
Secondary school got harder for me. The change in the amount of responsibility really scared me. I had no friends apart from those who felt sorry for me. I only hung out with my ‘friends’ twice in five years. Although, I made one best friend and we are still in contact.
College was hell. I mean it. I had two teachers. I’ll call them A and B, both of which insisted I was lazy. Awould tell me I was slouching, when I thought I was sitting bold upright. She also said I wasn’t taking notes. I didn’t know how to.
B kept having small talks with me, saying that I wasn’t trying and I’d be on the dole all my life. It took four angry emails from my mum to get her kicked out. No-one would befriend me and I was depressed most of the time.
This is the autobiography. I'm also thinking of doing some kind of fictional work, just to raise awarness.
