Walekumassalam
There's a difference of opinion on this. Some say that it takes a person beyond the pale of islam and is considered kaafir. Some say if a person believes prayers are obligatory but doesn't offer them, he's still a muslim. Some say if a person doesn't believe they are obligatory nor does offer them, he's a kafir.
So sister ,best is to offer all the obligatory prayers. At last, only Allah SWT will judge. It's not on us to determine whether a muslim has become kafir or no. It's between them and Allah.

Wa Alaikum Assalm Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu sister,
It is best to provide reasons why you dont pray. Such as having anxiety attacks, inability to make rational decisions, mental illness, etc.
I don't pray because I have mental health issues such as major anxiety disorder and schizoaffective disorder if I don't take my meds....
I get movements jerky movements of arms and legs if I try to do wudu so I cannot do wudu or tayyammum....

About 20 years ago I was having a conversation with a distant relative who was a 'proper' Muslim,
I. e. the beard, hat, clothes etc. He asked me "do you pray 5 times a day and attend Friday prayers?"
I replied, "I attend Friday prayers, but have no time for the 5 daily compulsory prayers due work commitments." He responded, "If you have the intention then you will be able to make the time."

Okay so can I pray without tayyumum or wudu
Because what I can discribe myself as having is
Multiple scriousis a movement disorder that involves paralysis of limb or tardive dyskinesia if those movements don't stop...
My mother felt grief for me so she taught me how to do wudu outside our house near a corner it worked out fine but I guess I need to purify my intention....

There’s a difference of opinion on this matter.
Some say that you should make up for all the years of missed Salat by doubling or tripling your salat each day.
Others say that missed salat cannot be made up for unless there’s a genuine reason. Instead, you need to ask for forgiveness sincerely. Maybe start praying sunnah salat too - I believe there’s a Hadith which says that sunnah salat can help make up for incomplete fardh salat.
You can say the shahada as many times as you like - it’s good dhikr but it doesn’t wipe away all your sins. Not unless you were a non-Muslim reverting to Islam.
Just seek forgiveness from Allah for the prayers you missed, there is no need to make those missed prayers ( and Allah knows the best!).
May Allah make it easy for you to pray. Ameen!

Assalaamu Alaikum,
So she showed you a way of performing Wudu which you can do on a daily basis for all your prayers. Is that correct?

Then what is the issue? Surely you will be rewarded greatly for any hardships you endure in order to fulfill your obligations unto Allah. This is a source of great rewards and blessings unto you.
So do not look at it as a burden or a curse for these hardships will enable you to get much closer to Allah and as long as you are patient and do not question Allah's wisdom then it will be a source of immeasurable rewards for you. To such an extent that when one sees such rewards on the day of Judgement they will wish they went through much greater trials so that one may attain even greater rewards.
