Dyspraxia is an immaturity of the brain resulting in messages not being properly transmitted to the body. Dyspraxia is a disability but those affected do not look disabled. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
Older children are usually very verbally adept and converse well with adults.
They may be ostracised by their own peer group because they do not fit in. They may cleverly avoid doing those tasks that are difficult or even impossible for them. Dyspraxics can be of average or above intelligence but are often behaviourally immature. They try hard to fit in to the socally accepted behaviour when at school but often throw tantrums when at home. They may find it difficult to understand logic and reason.
