Our dear Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe suffers from a mild form of the brain disorder dyspraxia. What, exactly, does that mean? Dyspraxia is a neurological problem that can impair the organization of movement.
Dyspraxia impairs the normal learning process and in Daniel Radcliffe’s case, his “condition is very mild and at worst manifests itself in an inability to tie his shoe laces and bad handwriting,” according to his rep.
It hasn’t hurt Daniel Radcliffe’s career at all - in fact, it was dyspraxia that led him to acting. According to Radcliffe, “I was having a hard time at school in terms of being crap at everything, with no discernible talent.” That’s when he first auditioned for BBC’s David Copperfield.
Dyspraxia affects about 10 percent of people in Britain.
