Ezra, I am curious about your situation. Are your struggles mostly from Autism or from the comorbids that you have? Is dysphraxia part of the Autism or is it a separate thing that you have with Autism?


The autism is the biggest problem. The dyspraxia is a separate disorder. Although there are certain overlaps.

Most of the struggle that I have read that you have shared with us are from the dyspraxia. I would love to know how your Autism specifically affects you. I am going to be doing an Autism workshop in January. I, of course, will be mostly sharing from my own personal life experiences. But I would love to know more from you and from others who are labeled LFA to understand more how you are directly affected by Autism in particular. I think we actually have much more in common than people realize. Please teach me because I know that a lot of the families that will be attending the workshop have loved ones who are seen as LFA and I want to be able to represent you guys as best as I can.
