Maybe it's a sufficiently obscure technical term to not be in the Concise Oxford or that kdict thingbob.

Dyslexia abounds... 
One of my flatmates accused me of having weird writing. And one of his friends told me I wrote like someone from the 17th century... 
I think it's because of all the little swirls I put on, but who knows?

Do you use words like doth, thee and wherefore? Because that could do it.

dysbraxia is a lack of coordination basically: electrical discharges in the brain aren't quite in sync...so there's time lapse between the connections: or in more severe cases the connection doesn't occur at all. So, this influences precision work inc. writing, sewing etc. aiming things et al...
I've been told I've got French h/w!
