Talking with expert psychologist Dr Kamps about Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) / dyspraxia. We explore the large overlap that exists between DCD, autism (ASD) and ADHD, and the immense personal struggle it can create in peoples lives. Depending on severity, DCD can affect many aspects of life from academics to daily living task, emotional regulation, and socializing, not to mention sports, exercise and fitness. DCD is a condition that is very under recognized and under- diagnosed. Dr Kamps discusses the clear correlation between difficulty in planning and executing of motor tasks and the effect it has on self esteem, and the ability to express intellect and creativity.
