Hi Crystal,

Yes, I believe Autism and Dyspraxia ARE related.

But think of it this way.

Me and my sister Suzy are related..

We have some same physical features and mannerisms, but does that mean that

I am Suzy, and that Suzy is me??

No.

Does that mean that it is okay to call ME Suzy? or call Suzy by the name of

?

Of course not.

If we are alike in a lot of ways, is it okay for medical professionals to

just call us by ONE name?

Would I want people to go ahead and call me Suzy because we are so alike,

NO. I want people to call me by my correct name (i.e. label).

Would Suzy want everyone to just call her , because we are so alike?

Of course not.

Would it be confusing if everyone just called us both " Spectrum " ??

Of course it would be confusing, because we are two different people.

You see, two things can be related, but also be very different.

The increase in shoe size is normal after having a baby. My mother

went up in size with each baby and so did I.( before implants.)

Its a good thing I didn't have ten kids. Started out size 6 1/2 and

now after three kids I'm a size 8.
