Dyspraxic Adults

Dyspraxics definetly suffer from sensory overload again i think this can be attributed to discoordination. I think Mindfulness and meditation may help to unload even though I cant vizualise I feel this is a method of unloading my mind aswell as ensuring i get sufficient sleep.

we are a newly formed group of dypraxic adults in the east of scotland holding meetings in Dundee and edinburgh in May and June as per details below. Feel free to come along or refer us to friends. Dundee meet up https://www.facebook.com/events/1007297326112636/ Edinburgh meet up https://www.faceboo...

I'm always leave jobs half done (I like to TRY to help my boyfriend out at his flat when I stay over) and he has to ask me if I've forgotten anything, a sort of gentle reminder, at which point I have to apologise and go back to whatever it was I was doing before my mind wandered :S It's no big deal...

Main problem is the public sector isnt interested in supporting this and the main dyspraxia bodies dont have enough funding i think its getting worse rather than better only way to spread the word of things is through social media and writing to politicians it seems.
