Dispraxia
Posted Apr 30, 2007
Ideo-Motor dyspraxia
disorder of sensory integration
Motor neuron difficulties
Ernest Hemingway, The Brontë sisters and Jack Kerouac
'congenital maladroitness': A poor social cognition,
and a literal understanding of language,
making it hard to understand idioms or sarcasm)
Problems that are common to many dyspraxics whatever their profile
are difficulties frustration and low self-esteem.
A patient with hemineglect typically you'll hold this card
in front of them and ask them to describe what's in the picture
and they say something like, "Well I see a curtain and some dishes."
And you say, "What else is going on?"
"Oh, I see, I'm sorry, yes, there's water overflowing the sink here."
"Is there anyone in the picture?"
"Oh yes, I see, oh, I'm sorry, yes, there's a woman drying a dish there."
"What else is going on in the picture?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, yes, there's an open window and another curtain."
"Anyone else in the picture?"
"No, I just see the one person. Oh yeah, I'm sorry, yes,
this is a cabinet down here," and so on.
So always orienting toward the right side of the picture
and never moving leftward.

An this bonding that moulds our years of ....
Enthusiasm or love of these surroundings
Encapsulation in this sprayed web binding
The world in which we share sofa's.
It's this bonding like the stitching of ....
The furniture, we park our drinks without spilling
For the stains of friendship, always
As are the refreshments that we toast too.
Man when you've put those feet off ....
When requested; 'Would you do that at home!'
An the days and the nights recapped all alone
We remember why we share conditioning.
I knew love was but a thing of ....
Shared pleasantries between male and female
But mate when you put them feet up, an wail
I see crumbs, we both pick up the pieces.
