We discussed this earlier so i'll just say thank you for biting the bullet and actually posting about it.
I was diagnosed with dyspraxia when I was very young. I walk a little weird, misstep occasionally and you might see me catch myself falling over when I'm standing completely still. It hasn't really held me back but it is something I have to confront about myself frequently.
Seeing dyspraxia represented like this was less immediately upsetting and more.. super jarring and out of place? I just wonder how this slipped through the cracks when there's been such an effort to be better in recent years. I don't know of any other real-world, lifelong developmental disorders being played for laughs so it's odd to have this one.
I'm also a little concerned that Dyspraxia is relatively uncommon and it's not unlikely this is someone's first exposure to the idea, which could easily spread assumptions and misinformation about a pretty visible disorder.
