I have a largish list of disclosures, some of which go on the profile & get re-iterated in cmails, cuz frankly many people have to be told over & over again, for whatever reason . . ..

Most people have a hard time digesting big blocks of text, tho', so I usually try to drizzle the disclosures over a series of conversations . . ... & usually the conversations provide plenty of 'natural' opportunities to share appropriately . . . . ..

I generally agree with beargonewild - {tell the other person at some point when you are comfortable enough with them and have a good sense that things will progress further. Being open and upfront about one's disabilities is good yet there is a time and place to make the other person aware.}

However in your case specific the tables are turned - let Me explain:
Foremost I would think this to be an issue more inclined for a submissive in play in which case there are certain limitations that need to be presented before play in order to avoid further debilitating consequnce.

What one needs to ask oneself is does your disability enter into your performance?
i.e ones capabilities.
In most cases this will often be broken down into play activities such as ones that one Can Do and ones that one Can Not do and hence a simple private disclosure concerning what one Can Not do would be the appropriate response.

However in your case specific dyspraxia is a developmental coordination disorder (DCD) which potentially would effect All performance Activities {Body Play}..and therefore should be explained as such.
