That actually is suprising. But hey, he's found his niche nonetheless.

Dysing Daniel topic

Is he? This is a condition I share with Dan. I am glad he has succeeded in such a competitive field.

Isn't dyspraxia more or less defined as clumsiness?

This is surprising.

I'm sure Warner Bros. knows this already.

I think that's cool. OK, not that he has this difficulty, but that someone so successful and doing so well has it, which means that when you find your niche stuff like this doesn't really matter. It's great to have these role models for kids like my son who really struggle with tying shoes and writing by hand.
