For all you Harry Potter fans out there did you know that Daniel Radcliffe has a disability.

It is a coordination disorder called dyspraxia. 

It makes it hard for him to tie his shoes and even write.

One in 20 people have some sort of dyspraxia. 

The symptoms include being clumsy, struggling with buttons and zippers, or trouble jumping and running, etc.  The symptoms don't go away they require therapy to learn new tasks and improve coordination. 

There was one occasion on the set of a Harry Potter movies when one of the costars had to reach down and tie one of Daniel's shoes for him.

Do you know of any other celebrities with disabilities? Did you know this?
