This is a marvel of a book, sure to open both hearts and minds. Rosemary Richings writes with such grace, compassion, and thoughtfulness. I was deeply moved by her story and her sense of solidarity with others who have been harmed by the status quo. She is unafraid to name the policies and ways of thinking that marginalize and exploit, nor to boldly imagine a better world. This book needs to be read widely., This is a marvel of a book, sure to open both hearts and minds. Rosemary Richings writes with such grace, compassion, and thoughtfulness.

This book needs to be read widely. -- Audrey Clare Farley, author of The Unfit Heiress Stumbling through space and time is a heartfelt memoir, offering an authentic insight into what it means to be dyspraxic. Rosemary not only creates a space where those with dyspraxia can feel seen, but she also creates valuable learning opportunities for anyone to learn about it. This will help to make the world a more inclusive place for everyone. -- Emily Katy, autistic blogger, writer and Trustee of Autistic Girls Network

Synopsis
In this essential guide, Rosemary Richings shares her tips, advice and insights on growing up and thriving with dyspraxia. She describes being diagnosed as a young child, dealing with bullies, navigating the tricky teenage years and more, and explains the strategies that helped her to succeed., "In 1994, I was diagnosed with dyspraxia, and I was unable to do everything that children are expected to do by the time they're in school. For me, this included everything from riding a bike and catching a ball, to reading, writing, and basic math." When talking about her dyspraxia, Rosemary Richings is often met with confusion. Why do so few people understand dyspraxia, or even know what it is? Rosemary shares her experience of growing up dyspraxic, and how it impacts her sense of space, time and co-ordination. Diagnosed with DCD at the age of four, Rosemary shares her insights and experience dealing with challenges, from coping with bullies in school to choosing a dyspraxia-friendly university, pursuing self-employment and travelling abroad. Rosemary shares guidance for others about what helped her develop her skills, including ballet and gymnastics, the Wilbarger Protocol (brushing therapy) and equestrian therapy. Full of practical tips and insights into the strategies that gave Rosemary the confidence to succeed, this is an essential guide for other dyspraxics and those supporting them, which shows you how you too can thrive as a dyspraxic person.

    I've ordered from Rarewaves here in the US and the UK multiple times, and continue to do so. They always seem to have something I can't find anywhere else at all or for a reasonable price. When I purchase used items, they are as described, if not a grade better. Aways a quick turnaround after ordering, every item arrives promptly, professionally packaged. Many orders have free shipping, even for solitary item orders. I never needed a reason to communicate, as I've had no cause. Recommended.
