Dyspraxic Adults

I'm so shy and scared of other people not understanding how I am that I keep myself to myself. I feel very lonely as a result. My ex-hubby didn't understand my strangeness and I only tend to get friendly with other 'strange' people like me but there's not that many about..

Existential being is the belief that a greater being than ourselves imagines everything around us. Like solipsists believing that they personally imagine everything and instead of dying they just wake up, the belief in existential beings believes that no-one dies because they didnt exist in the ...

Hiya I've just been diagnosed as dyslexic and dyspraxic by an educational psychologist. She told me that to get a proper full diagnosis for dyspraxia one would have to see an occupational therapist either from self referral or through a g.p. She reckons an Ed Psych could only diagnose dyspraxic ...

Hiya got the results of my assessment back today at college and it turns out that I'm both dyslexic and dyspraxic.. well its more like I'm dyslexic with dyspraxic tendancies. Am I happy? Well yes because I'm 34 and have been telling teachers for years that I have something wrong with me and I feel ...

Cheers guys, a few points there to remember

My assessment date with an Educational Psychologist has just come through today and I'm nervous about it. I'm at college and am only being assessed now at the age of 34. The teachers have been nice and understanding telling me not to worry but I am :rolleyes: My learning support tutor told me it'll ...

@ Dani, Its very frustrating isn't it? The main thing is to recognise when your putting up barriers I think and consciously try and get through them. I have accepted that intolerant or unforgiving people will never be my friends [-( but a good way of looking at that is - would I want them to be ...

Sucks sometimes.. I have to build up barriers sometimes because of my lack of tact.

Hi Vickster :) and welcome to the board :) What you've said in your post echoes a lot of what I've felt about having dyspraxia. I went to university a few years back (when I didn't know I had dyspraxia) and only managed to do four of the six first year modules of a BSc in Psychology. I just managed ...

I tend to count the steps/stairs I walk down. Me too. I find that if I look away for one moment I nearly break my neck falling down them. I get bored looking at them so I count them to take my mind off the boring task. Gives me something to do and focuses my attention on the stairs so I don't fall ...

Dyspraxic brains are wired to recognise patterns and shapes. Its nothing to worry about. I do it too
