<p>A late diagnosis of a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition has been shown to be an important life event with strong emotional consequences and deep personal reflections. &nbsp; Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD/Dyspraxia) is a common, yet little known neurodevelopmental disorder but, as our knowledge expands, it is clear that late diagnoses of adults who have been previously missed in the system are common. However, there is currently a gap in the literature investigating the experiences of individuals with DCD who only received their diagnoses in later adulthood. Adults and older adults with DCD have expressed a need for more research that will help to understand their positions and subsequently, lead to the development of better support. Therefore, the aim of the study is to answer the following research questions: What is the emotional impact surrounding the moment of receiving a late DCD diagnosis and the aftermath? What is the perception of one’s past, present and future through the lens of a late DCD diagnosis? The study will consist of semi structured interviews with 15 individuals who received a diagnosis of DCD aged 30 years or later. Interviews will be analysed using thematic analysis.</p>
