It is so sad that at the age of 19 I have to come to TH-cam and finally find a diegnostic to what has gone on with me my whole life! This is insane and it has made my night that I finally have a name to my problem. I don’t understand why my doctors haven’t told me this I have told them my problem and how now I’m 260lbs because I can’t eat healthy because the textures and seriously gosh I’m so in shock right now I don’t even know what to say I’m mind blown 🤯
I dissect my food! Say if I had a sandwich I would ideally eat the filling and the bread separately. Thank you so much for telling me that this is a dyspraxia thing because people always yell at me for it.
My brother and I have dyspraxia , and he recognized himself in this video. It really helps him knowing that other people do the same . Thanks so much , your channel really helps us ( we're from France so sorry for my English)
This was so great, I have an 11yr old son whom I struggle with at meal time all the time as I just don't know what it like for him. We just tell him to "deal with it, it will be ok". But it is not us with Dspraxia. To him it is big issue and his world is falling apart...to us and others he seem like naughty kid.
I'm 25 and was diagnosed with Dyspraxia whan I was about 5 or 6. For as long as I can remember I've had to deal with eating disorders and not being able to eat certain foods due to the texture being unbearable. I had no idea it was because of my dyspraxia. How have me or my parents gone this long without having any idea why I have terrible eating habits. It's seriously going to effect my health. More parents need to be made aware of this. Thank you so much for opening my eyes.
I was diagnosed last year at the age of 15. I can totally relate I have a whole order as to were each food item goes and non of the different types of food can touch also I always eat in a specific order so I dont confuse the tastes and then if I find a chip at the end of a meal I will disregard it food can be really stressful it also annoys me that evan now after a year people still don't know what dyspraxia is
the purple cheescake zebra Not even the specialist really 100% know, but I guess a lot of conditions are the same, we are in a time where we are still learning, and by communicating with one another and adding our inputs together, im hoping that throughout the process of making these video's we can all help each other understand, who knows I could come across some new discoveries that even the specialists don't know about yet. :) we will get there don't worry
OK...my jaw is now on the floor. The priority of texture in food and then the part about the "beans can't touch the mash" pretty much just did me in. Like why I love ice cream and I love pie, but just don't mix them, or I can't...as in CAN'T... eat it. I really had NO idea. I could leave like 50 more comments but I've learned not to gush...which I never new was a behavior related to dyspraxia...which I also didn't know I had, so I'll just finish by saying...thanks again and you go KB!
watching this is so relieving because everyone always bitches to me about how fussy i am with food and it gets really frustrating not being able to eat certain things, yet i never knew it was due to my dyspraxia!! i was diagnosed with dyspraxia when i was about 7, but i never really had it explained to me properly because i was so young thankyou so much!!!!
I’ve dyspraxia. I had this phenomenon Krystal describes as a child, but grew out of it. I used to go apes**t if the ketchup touched the chips. Everything has to be ‘just so’, black or white - no grey area. Using the principles of CBT and settling into social situations, I grew out of it. Now I don’t care if all the food mashes together on the plate, coz that inevitably happens in your stomach anyway. Don’t cry over it, just relax. Food textures never really bothered me. I used to be a fussy eater, and had bulimia at one stage, but thankfully not anymore. You are doing a lot for us as a people Krystal, keep up the good work.
Nothing saucy/liquidy can touch anything else, and bready things cannot get wet. I also HATE fat on meat (unless it's crispy bacon) but my mum's a vegetarian and buys cheap meat OTL I have to drink between different textures which is probably the only reason I can stay hydrated lol. Food is really stressful, so I'm surprised I eat at all ._.
This made me smile because it's so relatable. I can't have carrots or sweet corn touching my beans or ketchup I can't handle it I won't eat either off them even if they haven't merged. But I can't eat jelly or raw carrots I forget how to swallow I'm the same with beef I also hate touching my wrists it makes me feel sick, people think I'm weird but i know that I'm just unique :)
It's very interesting. I have dyspraxia but I'm 100% not fussy about food. But I do work with children with autism and a lot of them do demonstrate this sort of behaviour. One girl will absolutely refuse to touch her food if it's touching another food. Fascinating. Either way, your take on dyspraxia as not being a disability is very inspiring.
Krystal-Bella Shaw You seem to know a lot about it. I've actually got quite a lot of traits that I didn't think were part of my dyspraxia until I started watching your videos. You've made a lot of things make sense to me, so thank you for that.
The reason we show a lot of traits of other disabilities is because them all link together get a piece of paper and write autism, dyslexia and ADHD dew a circle around them so they overlap that is the best way too show the links me and few friends agree the centre the bit where all three meet is dyspraxia and then you can be more towards different sections but for myself I am slap bang in the middle with traits from all three things and ADD on top so y.The food thing is abit bizzar but for me I was premature and have hardly any sense of smell or taste and so rely on texture too see if I like the food.I am also strange as a dyspraxia due to the smell and taste thing but I'm also partially deaf in my left ear losing my eyesight in my right eye and when I do yoga or have general aniphetic in the hospital I loss the hyper awareness and by that I mean I lose the judgement of distance after yoga and I lose 24-36hrs after coming round from general so too look at dyspraxia as everyone is the sam is like looking at the children you work with all being the same with autism.Hope this helps you with understanding it better
I never got diagnosed when I was young, my parents thought I was picky and stubborn when I couldn't handle most soft foods, could only wear socks inside out, was always cold and constantly wore the same jacket, etc. I masked very well because I was a savant true, so people thought I was still aloof academic. I've only recently been realizing so many of my issues are related to sensory processing and a lack of social skills.
Thank you for making this video because I have it and I subscribed and thank you for making a place for all of us to have a chance to talk about our disability
i have dyspraxia . i can tottaly relate to what you are . i was diagnosid when i was 9. 4 years on , i have got resorce help at scholl and i am now using a laptop insted of pen and paper.
hi its great to see a youtuber with dyspraxia :) in my experience I see dyspraxia as just the motor skills problem. I do know that a lot of people tend to have both autism and dyspraxia but i think the're more separate than you mentioned
+nathanroberts as someone with dyspraxia I thought that I would let you know that I have traits of ADD and ADHD and Autism and Dyslexia which makes life pretty tricky. Unfortunately for me they all over lap and it causes havoc with things in life.It is not just the motor skills its the gross and fine motor skills and the organisation and the understanding and everything in between.And bore you jumps down my throat. I would like to tell you I was diagnosed at age 4/5 and I'm now twenty one and still struggling to cope but because in the last few yrs there has been more information and understanding on the learning difficulty I have found more coping meconisums and the info helps explain to people. Things I struggle wit on a daily basis, time keeping, grocery shopping, cooking, eating, sleeping, travelling. These are a few things I struggle with not even the physical things like being partially deaf in my left ear, losing my eyesight in my right eye and having practically no sense of smell or Taste or the fact that I can never truly relax because ill lose sense of distance or 24-36hrs of my life. These are the significant things I deal with not a monthly or weekly or day or hourly rate but every second of every minute of every hour of every day for my entire life.So please ask or at least research it before judging people cuz I hurts me too know that people think its a tiny thing when In reality its huge.For example did you know that 1 in 10 adults in the world are undiagnosed with dyspraxia that's a big thing
I like the taste of banana but I have actually thrown up because of the texture. Today I was eating apple sauce and I love apple sauce but the texture made me gag. I am very texture based when eating. Also, I cannot have any food touching or else I cannot eat it.
i'm 21 , i was diagnosed around 14 years old, and i fall on your video and like woaw ! i never thought all the problem i had with foods belong to dyspraxia, i mean, i was really pissed off for exemple to eat 2 things in the same plate, when a steack with a lot of juice spoil my chips, it was very annoying, thanks to make me understand myself ahah
i was diagnosed dypraxsia wen i was 9 then has i got odder it moved into level 3 dyspraxia now ifined it hard to deal with ever day life the food thign you seaid abotu is so true i cant let any of my food tuch and plus if have to much of soem on the palte it dose my head in allso i fine very hard to hold a job down, realtionship are noght cus most dont understand dyspraxia i founf so hard to constrate and i ma ver inposive
I was told at college I had dyspraxia! Wanted a full diagnosis but none of my local g.ps even knew what it was and wouldn't push for diagnosis. . I'm the same with food but I also eat in an order... everymeal I have whether it be a roast dinner. . Or fish and chips... I'm the same with textures and if something I don't like have touched my food I won't eat it. .. my mam tries to put broccoli water in the gravy to get me the nutrients but I know immediately and just won't eat my dinner if it's there.. my brother has adhd and it's okay for him to act how he does but sometimes I think because I'm older (22) if I get in a tizz with my emotions or something it's stupid to her... I'm gonna show her this video so it makes more sense to her x
I had no idea this related to dyspraxia....... makes so much sense for me...... :O Fruit salad is an example for me, disgusting. I will eat most of the fruits separately but because they have all been touching each other, I just can't do it.
I have texture-with-taste issues. I love pickles, but only if they're crunchy and super sour. Sweet, soft, or fried pickles make me want to brush my teeth a thousand times. I hate apple sauce but I love apple butter (which is just apple sauce but heavily spiced). Any kind of yogurt, pudding, pasta dishes or soups with fruit/veggie chunks is impossible for me to eat without making a face. I've always been a picky eater, but now that I'm in my 20s, breaking the habit and trying to broaden my diet is hilariously difficult.
For all of you in the comments please go look to other videos and research the disorder because it’s not just about the textures and the foods. There’s so much more to it and you might self diagnose yourself with something you don’t have so go look it up before doing so please.
I was misdiagnosed as having asperger's syndrome in early Primary School. It would be another few years before my learning support teacher told my parents to get me tested for dyspraxia. It's really interested hearing about other people with dyspraxia. Dyspraxia Scotland doesn't provide as much support as the Dyspraxia Foundation which unfortunately only deals with England & Wales.
+Amy Scott Any one is welcome to our events, the whole point of these videos is to reach out at a much larger scale worldwide. Its great to hear that you had support in school. Not many of us did so its great to see some getting the support needed :D
Not being diagnosed as a child I was always punished for being fussy with food. I couldn't eat lots off food because it all made me feel sick which turned out was because I also had coeliac disease. However, the best way I can cope with food is I stick everything in a bowl and make sure it is mushed up before I eat it now that I cook for myself. That way it is all 1 thing. However I only really like to eat mushy things with rice like chili or curry.
I can not eat jelly, pudding, rice, Apple sauce, Lumpy mashed potatoes (or baked potatoes) Bananas, beans, and some other things i can't think of right now all because they have weird textures like i will actually throw up
Hello! I looked up food/texture problems and this is the first thing that I saw. I have a little brother who is 7 years old now, and he has been eating baby/puréed food since he was a baby. His big thing is textures, and it's just been a big mystery to our whole family. We've gone to doctors, done physical therapy, and nothing seems to work. I'm not quite sure if he is in a similar situation to you, but if you could help me out with things that helped you, that would be really awesome.
Finally someone talking about this. I’m so fucking annoyed cause I can’t eat shit. I literally eat like 5 things and that’s it even tho I love other foods, I just can’t eat them. My mom will literally make something I used it love as a kid and I still wanna eat but I won’t eat it because if the texture and I feel so bad.
I was diagnosed in my first year of university too. For me I can´t stand dried fruits having them in my mouth and chewing it makes me want to crawl out of my skin. My first complete sentence was grandad I don´t eat raisins, he was teasing me about it. I don´t have the same habits about things not touching on my plate and stuff but I absolutely can´t eat in dim light, I am very sensitive to light and light changes and I need to see 100% whats on my plate. I used to be extremely fussy about food I could only eat bland foods but as I got older I´ve become more used to and even like spicy food but anything slightly sour I am extremely sensitive to. I can´t eat a lot of fruits and vegetables because they are not all uniform in taste, shape and texture.
Hildur Vignisdottir light, taste and touch sensitivity is something have spoken a lot about today with other Dyspraxics, its quite a big thing for us I have come to realise so after the next video I will no doubt cover that topic. I am exactly the same with dried fruits, and if I food that has a tiny bit of 'burn' on it, I cant even finish eating it I have to spit it out and just pretend the rest of that food doesn't exist on my plate, in fact I rarely ever finish my meal if that happens because it puts me right off. My family used to get VERY frustrated with me because of it. but what can you do aye?
I’m dyspraxia and dyslexia I can’t eat beans at all I can’t drink regular coke I can’t stand the smell of coffee when I was a child I would be a very fussy eater I’m starting to try more stuff I’ve found my dyspraxia harder to deal with in my adult hood but my dyslexia has improved in my adult hood I’m noticing more dyspeptic stuff now like walking into things i look very uncept but I have to shower every day I don’t like tight clothing I don’t know I’m just struggling with it and this is the first time I have admitted to that
Excellent - though it may seem odd to those who have not come up close and personal with a person with the disability (according to equalities and human rights commision, UK) Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) more commonly known as developmental dyspraxia and similar to acquired dyspraxia. DCD/Dyspraxia affects different people in different ways - |I had not heard of the one type of food not touching another before and I have been dealing with my dyspraxia for 20 years now - I am 69.
I cannot do clumps of molten cheese like when my stepmom makes mac and cheese caserole she has too layer the cheese because if she just puts it on top mindlessly i cant eat it or when she does creampotato in the crockpot she has too layer that aswell sometimes i can get away with instant noodles but it has too be cooked properly not too soft but also not too rubbery
I have dyspraxia but food isn't something I worry that much about at least not in terms of foods touching each other unless there are two different types of sauce on the plate if I'm having chinese or something. On the other hand, I don't like ketchup at all and I can't stand butter. As a child I used to always eat dry bread, no butter or jam or anything because I just hate the texture.
With what you said, I realized that I do make sure that certain foods aren't touching. Like I don't want my veggies touching certain foods like mashed potatoes. But ketchup, my family and I are ketchup lovers lol. I am also the pickiest one out of my family with food. I hate onions, peppers, cherries, anything spicy, caramel, I can go on. My family loves those, and usually tries to force me to eat them by cooking them into our meals. I always pick out them out. Spicy food, yeah I'm 40% mexican but I can't stand the spicy taste.
angel101heartsJB from my understanding, we are likely to be more..ermmm sensitive? to spicy foods, in the same way most of us will be over sensitive to light and light changes. I cant stand the texture of cooked onions, cherries and cooked pepper. but i love raw onion, love the taste of cherries, and will sometimes consider pepper if its not chopped so finely.
Is this just one part of dyspraxia? Because I have that food texture problem And appetite issues…and I also have issues with the texture of certain material like the way certain towels or clothes feel will drive me crazy… But that’s the only symptom I have… I guess I will have to research this more...The thing you said about food not touching other food on your plate… I’ve had that problem all my life..I think what you were trying to think of is called OCD and I have that as well
Thank you for this. My son als has dyspraxia and is very fussy with food. Like you he can not eat of something is "wrong" with his food. How do you manage this when eating out?
Is this maybe the reason I have a phobea of peas? It's nit specifically peas but things that are thatbsiza and shape. So havingnto touch beads or bb pellets makes me gag. But there was even one pea or bean, or anything that shape, on my plate as a child I wouldnt eat the entire plate. I'm better now but I would still all wrong food items removed before I could eat.
I'm not always particular about the placing, but I absolutely can't eat food together- I wont combine peas/sauce or whatever and I have to eat them separately. Also I really struggle to eat food combinations that I can't see- pies etc. I've been diagnosed for as long as I can remember but I never really understood it until earlier this year when I looked it up.
I have no clue if i have this(i hope yo ask the doctors soon or atleast find out whats wrong with me) but Im not able to eat textured foods like fruit,veg and certain types of meat,theyre so chewy. I like the taste of strawberries but hate the texture.
Me it's broccoli has to be next to the califlour the carrots on right potato on left and the meal ie meat ( I'm a vegetarian but meat was easiest example) front centre if it's not like that I can't eat it
I've been diagnosed with dyspraxia but my parents don't really know much about it, so I looked it up, and when I tell them stuff about it, they say it's a load of rubbish. But it's true...I apparently have it mildly, but I don't know what stage that is, or how much of an extent it is to etc. The only reason why I never really got help was because I went to orsett but they treat you like a piece of shit, they think you're stupid. she tried to teach me how to hold a knife and fork, and read out a short passage to her. 1. I ain't stupid, 2. It's DYSPRAXIA, not DYSLEXIA
I know how you feel I have dyspraxia and people have been treating me like I'm stupid, making me feel left out of activities and they I mentioned dyslexia
My worst food is definitely potato. I gag everytime I eat Potato and my tongue for some reason shrivels up. I've had this reflex problem since I was little.
holy shit. im hearing myself here. i have to eat things one thing at a time, i dontl ike mixing my food, i eat the veg, carrots. then the peas. the potato, then the fish. that sort of thing, i dont understand mixing them together. its too much taste in the mouth.
I can't stand the taste of most fruits or vegetables. Stuff like cherries or strawberries I find way to sweet most vegatable I find way to bitter. stuff like peas and sprouts I can't stand the texture of. I don't have much issues with mixing foods together though like I often scoop up some mash with my sausage when eating bangers and mash
Keroc Ryghteous this is a tough one, ensure new food is likely to be a texture he will like. Introduce new food in small amounts to help him get used to it
So I might have dyspraxia but I don't do this? I don't like the texture of grainy foods (hummus or mashed polenta), which sucks because I LOVE the taste of hummus. I can't have tomato sauce/ketchup on mashed potatoes, and I like my sausages plain (Mum gets gourmet flavoured one and they taste so bad). I love trying new foods though - Mexican, Korean and Japanese (NO SEAFOOD) being my favourites - and aside from dukkah, I hate the taste of Middle Eastern foods.
Beans, yogurt, and oatmeal. Really anything with those consistencies for me. I like the taste, but they make me want to throw up. Man bodybuilding is tough rn
It is so sad that at the age of 19 I have to come to TH-cam and finally find a diegnostic to what has gone on with me my whole life! This is insane and it has made my night that I finally have a name to my problem. I don’t understand why my doctors haven’t told me this I have told them my problem and how now I’m 260lbs because I can’t eat healthy because the textures and seriously gosh I’m so in shock right now I don’t even know what to say I’m mind blown 🤯
I finally understand my child's feelings because you have the words she doesn't
I am dyspraxic, after watching this video I have an answer to my weird food habits.
I dissect my food! Say if I had a sandwich I would ideally eat the filling and the bread separately. Thank you so much for telling me that this is a dyspraxia thing because people always yell at me for it.
My brother and I have dyspraxia , and he recognized himself in this video. It really helps him knowing that other people do the same . Thanks so much , your channel really helps us ( we're from France so sorry for my English)
This was so great, I have an 11yr old son whom I struggle with at meal time all the time as I just don't know what it like for him.
We just tell him to "deal with it, it will be ok".
But it is not us with Dspraxia.
To him it is big issue and his world is falling apart...to us and others he seem like naughty kid.
I love this the plate thing, my boyfriend was so confused why I do it now he understands
I'm 25 and was diagnosed with Dyspraxia whan I was about 5 or 6.

Dyspraxics inability to tolerate certain textures is because of Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)
I was diagnosed last year at the age of 15. I can totally relate I have a whole order as to were each food item goes and non of the different types of food can touch
also I always eat in a specific order so I dont confuse the tastes and then if I find a chip at the end of a meal I will disregard it
food can be really stressful
it also annoys me that evan now after a year people still don't know what dyspraxia is

It's not a disability, it's just a way of life, and something that we just have to get along with.

I was told at college I had dyspraxia! Wanted a full diagnosis but none of my local g.ps even knew what it was and wouldn't push for diagnosis. . I'm the same with food but I also eat in an order... everymeal I have whether it be a roast dinner. . Or fish and chips... I'm the same with textures and if something I don't like have touched my food I won't eat it. .. my mam tries to put broccoli water in the gravy to get me the nutrients but I know immediately and just won't eat my dinner if it's there.. my brother has adhd and it's okay for him to act how he does but sometimes I think because I'm older (22) if I get in a tizz with my emotions or something it's stupid to her... I'm gonna show her this video so it makes more sense to her x
I had no idea this related to dyspraxia....... makes so much sense for me...... :O
Fruit salad is an example for me, disgusting. I will eat most of the fruits separately but because they have all been touching each other, I just can't do it.
I have texture-with-taste issues. I love pickles, but only if they're crunchy and super sour. Sweet, soft, or fried pickles make me want to brush my teeth a thousand times. I hate apple sauce but I love apple butter (which is just apple sauce but heavily spiced). Any kind of yogurt, pudding, pasta dishes or soups with fruit/veggie chunks is impossible for me to eat without making a face. I've always been a picky eater, but now that I'm in my 20s, breaking the habit and trying to broaden my diet is hilariously difficult.
For all of you in the comments please go look to other videos and research the disorder because it’s not just about the textures and the foods. There’s so much more to it and you might self diagnose yourself with something you don’t have so go look it up before doing so please.
I was misdiagnosed as having asperger's syndrome in early Primary School. It would be another few years before my learning support teacher told my parents to get me tested for dyspraxia.
It's really interested hearing about other people with dyspraxia. Dyspraxia Scotland doesn't provide as much support as the Dyspraxia Foundation which unfortunately only deals with England & Wales.
+Amy Scott Any one is welcome to our events, the whole point of these videos is to reach out at a much larger scale worldwide. Its great to hear that you had support in school. Not many of us did so its great to see some getting the support needed :D
Not being diagnosed as a child I was always punished for being fussy with food. I couldn't eat lots off food because it all made me feel sick which turned out was because I also had coeliac disease. However, the best way I can cope with food is I stick everything in a bowl and make sure it is mushed up before I eat it now that I cook for myself. That way it is all 1 thing. However I only really like to eat mushy things with rice like chili or curry.
it's soft and mushy foods for me, i cannot eat soup, mashed potato, hummus ect.
I can not eat jelly, pudding, rice, Apple sauce, Lumpy mashed potatoes (or baked potatoes) Bananas, beans, and some other things i can't think of right now all because they have weird textures like i will actually throw up
I abhore mushrooms but don't mind humus and the other things you mentioned.
I really love all the foods you mentioned. For me I hate almost all fruits and half-crunchy foods like long bean, broccoli, and tomato.
Hello! I looked up food/texture problems and this is the first thing that I saw. I have a little brother who is 7 years old now, and he has been eating baby/puréed food since he was a baby. His big thing is textures, and it's just been a big mystery to our whole family. We've gone to doctors, done physical therapy, and nothing seems to work. I'm not quite sure if he is in a similar situation to you, but if you could help me out with things that helped you, that would be really awesome.
actual.lizard any progression, my 7 year old is the same
who else HATES beans?
Leah Dowds meeeeeeeeeee
runner beans yes backed beans no
can't stand them yuck.I always have hoops and sauce if I can.
Finally someone talking about this. I’m so fucking annoyed cause I can’t eat shit. I literally eat like 5 things and that’s it even tho I love other foods, I just can’t eat them. My mom will literally make something I used it love as a kid and I still wanna eat but I won’t eat it because if the texture and I feel so bad.
I was diagnosed in my first year of university too. For me I can´t stand dried fruits having them in my mouth and chewing it makes me want to crawl out of my skin. My first complete sentence was grandad I don´t eat raisins, he was teasing me about it. I don´t have the same habits about things not touching on my plate and stuff but I absolutely can´t eat in dim light, I am very sensitive to light and light changes and I need to see 100% whats on my plate. I used to be extremely fussy about food I could only eat bland foods but as I got older I´ve become more used to and even like spicy food but anything slightly sour I am extremely sensitive to. I can´t eat a lot of fruits and vegetables because they are not all uniform in taste, shape and texture.
Hildur Vignisdottir light, taste and touch sensitivity is something have spoken a lot about today with other Dyspraxics, its quite a big thing for us I have come to realise so after the next video I will no doubt cover that topic. I am exactly the same with dried fruits, and if I food that has a tiny bit of 'burn' on it, I cant even finish eating it I have to spit it out and just pretend the rest of that food doesn't exist on my plate, in fact I rarely ever finish my meal if that happens because it puts me right off. My family used to get VERY frustrated with me because of it. but what can you do aye?
O.my days I have got dyspraxia and didn't realise that were linked
Tus vídeos son muy buenos. mi hijo tiene dispraxia. habrá alguna forma de poder traducir tus vídeos al español o subtitularlos. Gracias por todo
I’m dyspraxia and dyslexia I can’t eat beans at all I can’t drink regular coke I can’t stand the smell of coffee when I was a child I would be a very fussy eater I’m starting to try more stuff I’ve found my dyspraxia harder to deal with in my adult hood but my dyslexia has improved in my adult hood I’m noticing more dyspeptic stuff now like walking into things i look very uncept but I have to shower every day I don’t like tight clothing I don’t know I’m just struggling with it and this is the first time I have admitted to that
Excellent - though it may seem odd to those who have not come up close and personal with a person with the disability (according to equalities and human rights commision, UK) Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) more commonly known as developmental dyspraxia and similar to acquired dyspraxia.
DCD/Dyspraxia affects different people in different ways - |I had not heard of the one type of food not touching another before and I have been dealing with my dyspraxia for 20 years now - I am 69.
hi i've been diagnose with dyspraxia at the age of 6 and for me food texture isnt really a struggle i can eat everything without problem hopefully
Tomato’s, cucumber, beans and lentils and corn beef
I cannot do clumps of molten cheese like when my stepmom makes mac and cheese caserole she has too layer the cheese because if she just puts it on top mindlessly i cant eat it or when she does creampotato in the crockpot she has too layer that aswell sometimes i can get away with instant noodles but it has too be cooked properly not too soft but also not too rubbery
I have dyspraxia but food isn't something I worry that much about at least not in terms of foods touching each other unless there are two different types of sauce on the plate if I'm having chinese or something. On the other hand, I don't like ketchup at all and I can't stand butter. As a child I used to always eat dry bread, no butter or jam or anything because I just hate the texture.
I have this condition
U are pritty xx
With what you said, I realized that I do make sure that certain foods aren't touching. Like I don't want my veggies touching certain foods like mashed potatoes. But ketchup, my family and I are ketchup lovers lol. I am also the pickiest one out of my family with food. I hate onions, peppers, cherries, anything spicy, caramel, I can go on. My family loves those, and usually tries to force me to eat them by cooking them into our meals. I always pick out them out. Spicy food, yeah I'm 40% mexican but I can't stand the spicy taste.
angel101heartsJB from my understanding, we are likely to be more..ermmm sensitive? to spicy foods, in the same way most of us will be over sensitive to light and light changes. I cant stand the texture of cooked onions, cherries and cooked pepper. but i love raw onion, love the taste of cherries, and will sometimes consider pepper if its not chopped so finely.
Krystal-Bella Shaw this is making so much since, because i always been more sensitive to certain tastes and light
Krystal-Bella Shaw Correct - sensitive to things that wouldn't bother others at all.
Is this just one part of dyspraxia? Because I have that food texture problem And appetite issues…and I also have issues with the texture of certain material like the way certain towels or clothes feel will drive me crazy… But that’s the only symptom I have… I guess I will have to research this more...The thing you said about food not touching other food on your plate… I’ve had that problem all my life..I think what you were trying to think of is called OCD and I have that as well
Wondering cause I'm 26 and just now accepted corn on the cob or steamed carrots
Thank you for this. My son als has dyspraxia and is very fussy with food. Like you he can not eat of something is "wrong" with his food. How do you manage this when eating out?
do you have any self help tips?
Is this maybe the reason I have a phobea of peas? It's nit specifically peas but things that are thatbsiza and shape. So havingnto touch beads or bb pellets makes me gag. But there was even one pea or bean, or anything that shape, on my plate as a child I wouldnt eat the entire plate. I'm better now but I would still all wrong food items removed before I could eat.
I'm not always particular about the placing, but I absolutely can't eat food together- I wont combine peas/sauce or whatever and I have to eat them separately. Also I really struggle to eat food combinations that I can't see- pies etc. I've been diagnosed for as long as I can remember but I never really understood it until earlier this year when I looked it up.
I have no clue if i have this(i hope yo ask the doctors soon or atleast find out whats wrong with me) but Im not able to eat textured foods like fruit,veg and certain types of meat,theyre so chewy.
I like the taste of strawberries but hate the texture.
Me it's broccoli has to be next to the califlour the carrots on right potato on left and the meal ie meat ( I'm a vegetarian but meat was easiest example) front centre if it's not like that I can't eat it
I have dyspraxia since I was very young I'm 14 now and I know exactly what you mean i can't stand the feel if some clothes it frustrates me
I’m dyspraxic and I have to have my food completely not touching and if it is I will just look at it and brake down in tears.
I was diagnosed this year i got xtra time 4 exams. i am clumsy. my dad doesn't get it he wasnt there wen i was getting tested.
I'm despaxic and have low muscle tone and texture is an issue my dad as to hide food because of texture
I've been diagnosed with dyspraxia but my parents don't really know much about it, so I looked it up, and when I tell them stuff about it, they say it's a load of rubbish. But it's true...I apparently have it mildly, but I don't know what stage that is, or how much of an extent it is to etc. The only reason why I never really got help was because I went to orsett but they treat you like a piece of shit, they think you're stupid. she tried to teach me how to hold a knife and fork, and read out a short passage to her. 1. I ain't stupid, 2. It's DYSPRAXIA, not DYSLEXIA
I know how you feel I have dyspraxia and people have been treating me like I'm stupid, making me feel left out of activities and they I mentioned dyslexia
Yeah, I won't eat it either if I don't like the texture.
My worst food is definitely potato. I gag everytime I eat Potato and my tongue for some reason shrivels up. I've had this reflex problem since I was little.
If someone brings tuna in the room I will run out and cry (I have dyspraxia)
I also hate tuna and pretty much all fish and shell fish.
holy shit. im hearing myself here. i have to eat things one thing at a time, i dontl ike mixing my food, i eat the veg, carrots. then the peas. the potato, then the fish. that sort of thing, i dont understand mixing them together. its too much taste in the mouth.
What age are you ?
i have dyspraxia and its hard :(
I can't stand the taste of most fruits or vegetables. Stuff like cherries or strawberries I find way to sweet most vegatable I find way to bitter. stuff like peas and sprouts I can't stand the texture of. I don't have much issues with mixing foods together though like I often scoop up some mash with my sausage when eating bangers and mash
Are you on Instagram?
yes @krystalbellax
My son is dyspraxic and throws up when trying new foods... he's 7. Any tips ?
Keroc Ryghteous this is a tough one, ensure new food is likely to be a texture he will like. Introduce new food in small amounts to help him get used to it
So I might have dyspraxia but I don't do this? I don't like the texture of grainy foods (hummus or mashed polenta), which sucks because I LOVE the taste of hummus. I can't have tomato sauce/ketchup on mashed potatoes, and I like my sausages plain (Mum gets gourmet flavoured one and they taste so bad). I love trying new foods though - Mexican, Korean and Japanese (NO SEAFOOD) being my favourites - and aside from dukkah, I hate the taste of Middle Eastern foods.
I cannot eat any pasta, It makes me gag.
I not pick at I have Dyspraxia
"its a disability, sort of" basically how I explain it every time I have to, cause it is a disability, but I'm not disabled.
I hate when saucy liquid touches my food 😆
NOTHING CAN TOUCH AT ALL (im dyspraxic )
I thought I was just weird...
Beans, yogurt, and oatmeal. Really anything with those consistencies for me. I like the taste, but they make me want to throw up. Man bodybuilding is tough rn
