Overcoming My Dyspraxia Challenges

Delighted to announce the next guest for my Neurodiversity Stories   Lucy Kemish   Topic of talk - Topic - Overcoming My Dyspraxia Challenges !   Lucy was Diagnosed with a subarchnoid cyst in 1999 and as a result diagnosed with dyspraxia. Physical challenges such as stairs (this was a big one growing up) and planning such as essay writing, this is still really difficult for her, One of the biggest challenges is that it is invisible You don't look like you struggle.  In 2008, Lucy took on the biggest challenge she had to that date, and went on a month-long expedition to Tanzania and reached the summit of Kilimanjaro. Lucy then went onto study 4 years of Speech and Language Therapy at City, University of London. Qualified in 2014 and as you can imagine this was a big struggle!! Lucy credits her amazing family, friends and staff at the university who helped her through. Lucy often like's to think that because she's not meant to be able to certain things, it makes her hungry for more! In 2014 Lucy took on another challenge and carried out a tandem skydive for charity. She Passed her driving test, again a milestone! and now drives an automatic. Lucy says that Job interviews were a nightmare. This was a big challenge for her and felt the way she often articulated herself went against her, Lucy knew she just needed a chance to show what she could do and Landed a job in January 2015 - Unfortunately, after a period of ill health, and had to give this up. In 2019 Lucy Re-train as a social media marketing manager and set up her own company, LK Digital Marketing.
