Cinematic

I am dyspraxic (DCD), and I was diagnosed almost 2 years ago despite showing symptoms for my whole life. Our representation is limited to one character in Doctor Who, and a bunch of theories about other characters (Arthur Christmas is definitely dyspraxic). The problem with this depiction is that we are usually shown as the clumsy, comical sidekick, never leading the story. Even this representation is so limited that most people don’t even know what DCD is, and doubt that I am disabled

(I’m glad to finally have somewhere to talk about this, it’s a cool thread)

Love, Actually is a romantic mess, I swear, most of the relationships shown are unfeasible or toxic in some way (and Emma Thompson's character did not deserve what happened to her). I get that this one is a bit more random, but I never got the romance in Ratatouille. In a story about a chef realising his dreams, why do you even need a romance subplot in the first place? I would much rather have seen more of Remy interacting with his family, or the legend that is Anton Ego - Linguini and Collette were better as a mentor-student pair than a couple.

I am definitely up for aro cheese

A very tall man forces people to do ridiculous and pointless things, while repeatedly humiliating a slightly less tall man.

Good evening guys! I’m a 17 year old aroace, and I’m still quite new to/awkward with forums. I started identifying as aro and ace at pretty much the same time, after thinking through my attitudes and feelings last year, and I am so proud to be this way. In terms of hobbies, I am pretty bookish, decent at embroidery, a Marvel fan and also dyspraxic (if anyone else is, feel free to give me a shout!) It’s exciting to be here and I’m looking forward to meeting some lovely fellow aros.

I like the freedom, I know that I can be happy on my own (as the last year has proven) and I'm relieved that I don't feel obliged to pretend to be alloromantic. I've always felt that I'd be most content with a close circle of friends. Plus, you can steer completely clear of all the toxic dating culture.

I'm not really out as aro, I doubt any of my friends or family would understand it. It's kind of obvious judging by the way that I act, but I'm not outing myself unless someone directly asks me about it
