Understanding Neurodiversity: A Dyspraxic Viewpoint
Introduction Hello, my name is Chloe Urquhart or some of you might know me by my pen name, Amber Forest. Today I’m going to explain what the terms neurodiverse and neurotypical mean. I have what is considered a neurodivergent condition or developmental difference called dyspraxia, otherwise known as developmental co-ordination disorder (DCD). I am going to start off with some basic definitions and facts regarding neurodiversity and neurotypical. Next I will go into the theories and validity of the terms then I will give you my perspective from a dyspraxic (DCD) viewpoint.

Best Exercise For Asthma and Rhinitis
1. Swimming Image by Pexels This one is my favourite, along with walking. For me, swimming is one of the best things because you learn good breathing techniques, you do not get as out of breath compared to other sports and you do not get sweaty! There is also zero pressure being put on your joints and there is just a soothing sensation of being in the water. You can also mix up your strokes a bit. My favourites are front crawl and breast stroke. I only do back stroke if there is hardly anyone in the pool as I have crashed into others in the past! The only thing which may trigger a cough is the chlorine but for me this often calms as I swim and you just wipe any excess water from your nose. If you need to you can take a break after each length. If you like to swim under water then go for it! I do like to but recently I’ve found this has started to make my nose run a bit. The only way you will know if under water suits you is to try it out!
