November 29, 2024
Born in the heart of New Delhi, within the confines of a slum, my early life was marred by the dual challenges of poverty and a tumultuous family environment. My father, an alcoholic, provided little stability, compelling me to undertake odd jobs to support my education. Adding to these difficulties, I was diagnosed with dyspraxia and a stammer.

In the vibrant tapestry of British Muslim South Asian communities, understanding neurodiversity often takes unexpected turns. For many, the discovery of dyspraxia—a neurological condition affecting physical coordination and organisation skills—comes not in childhood but as a revelation in adult life.

Studies have consistently found a high prevalence of dyspraxia among individuals on the autism spectrum.
