Review Quotes

Having this book at 13, when I was so hopeless at PE I was yelled at not only by teammates, but confused teachers too, would've been life changing. But the next best thing is having it now! This book is the hug all dyspraxic young people need.--Meg, creator of I'm Autistic, Now What? (YouTube)

A Trip Into A Dyspraxic Person's World" is a beautifully engaging and relatable read for young people. It explores challenges, strengths, language, and co-occurrence through captivating stories, making neurodiversity easy to understand. A must-read that will inspire and enlighten both dyspraxic young people and their peers.--Tumi Sotire (The Black Dyspraxic)

A Trip into A Dyspraxic Person's World is an unapologetic glimpse into what it truly means to live with a dyspraxic mind, while navigating an often-inaccessible world that does not fully understand dyspraxia. Through Lotte O'Neil's engaging animation style and methods of explaining dyspraxia, the symptoms of dyspraxia feel easy for even the most unfamiliar reader to understand what it's really like. That's exactly what we need at this very moment, when neurodivergence is still under supported and misunderstood despite having an increasing amount of mainstream representation.--Rosemary Richings, author Of Stumbling Through Space and Time: Living Life with Dyspraxia.

Fun graphic book bringing dyspraxia to life. Tips and simple activities offer support for the trickier dyspraxic stuff. But this book also shows just how awesome dyspraxia can be!--Alison Patrick, author of The Dyspraxic Learner and We are the Dyspraxia Champions.

A delightful, much-needed book about something that's much under-recognised. Full of warmth, humour and hope, 'A Trip Into A Dyspraxic Person's World' is an essential read for young dyspraxics who are looking to understand themselves better. Or for older dyspraxics who wish they'd had this kind of understanding when they were young.--Maxine Roper, Author of No Heels No Problem: A Neurodivergent Survival Guide to Adult Life When You're Dyspraxic or ADHD
