I think it might be possible for the primary school , but it is a postcode lottery. For the teen, it is much harder. I believe an adult diagnosis of dys...

Dyspraxia emotional dysregulation facial expressions

If a person with dyspraxia is tired, can they have difficulties regulating emotions, changing facial expressions. I can have difficulties regulating my emotions due to my ADHD.

People can think it is presented as autism,but it could be due to dyspraxia and / or ADHD.

My GP had a son with dyspraxia I think the main reason is that there are no NHS services for adult dyspraxia in my area , very very few nationally . The lack of awareness of adult dyspraxia, a problem, childhood dyspraxia has ...

I think, this is potentially the most vulnerable aspect of dyspraxia.
