If she does suffer from it and it impairs her daily routine to the point of affecting others, then either she and her carers/family or Big Brother have a duty to inform the HMs and obtain their consent before she entered and not just assume that HMs would intuitively take over the caring roles that Lauren is used to on the outside world without prior warning.
BB have known her well for 10 years and they do not take HM's illness lightly at the best of times, so i doubt they would have put her in there if they believed her to be unfit to take part.
So it's one of 2 things.
Either they know she has Dyspraxia and Lauren, her carers and Big Brother have all got it wrong and overlooked her needs in the house and just expected the other HMs to take a caring role without warning or preparation (which seems highly unlikely).
Or she doesn't have Dyspraxia but has similar characteristics, being a bit sloppy, careless etc.
That seems more likely to me but i don't know enough to be sure.
None of us would know the full picture unless you were part of Lauren's family/carers or the BB production team.

I posted a link the other day about Dyspraxia and it seems Lauren does display a lot of the 'symptoms' but like you say, only her support team knows whether she does or doesn't have it.
I don't think having dyspraxia should actually stop anyone going on BB but I do think perhaps if she does have the condition the other housemates should have been made aware because they do tend to make fun of her, with her sloppyness, her spilling tea/drinks/ her falling over etc and if they were aware they may have a little empathy with her.
