Its also people in fields like educational/ developmental psychology who develop buzzwords to try to categorise things they only partially understand; if they really understand anything. One once diagnosed me as having "Dyscalculia" when, apart for in time pressured numeracy tests for a jo...

Coming to the conclusion that being lumbered too much with household tasks like washing clothes ,washing /drying dishes cooking meals for more than one, shopping and putting it all in the fridge/freezer efficiently just asks for a potentially explosive reaction because it just seems a never ending c...

Yes a time in which supposedly normal people in every way are finding daily life that much more difficult to negotiate.

WELCOME TO OUR WORLD!

I can handle it but thought I might share my thoughts about this. I'm a six foot 2 inch guy who is well built but who is definitely more than a little overweight and while I see other guys my height and bigger who make me seem anorexic I know that's not supposed to justify my having too much flab. H...

My mother has a cousin who with her husband has a tendency to annoy more than anger me whenever I encounter them. But that might change. She is an ex primary teacher and the sort that DARES to talk like you are still a primary school kid yourself. The sort that stifles normal conversation by seeming...

Disability Employment Advisors are generally evasive, rude, ignorant, arrogant , having little or knowledge of dyspraxia, dyslexia, aspergers/autism/ASD. Dyspraxia is the poorest supported condition.

Well speaking for myself If you want to turn me into a psycho of course it is.

Hi AlleyCat. Firstly let me say that I find you own post very interesting for the issues it raises as well .Particularly concerning the issue of time management and for being able to get a 2:1 never mind a 1st or a pass degree and have a life for anything else with extra-curricular activities when m...

Hi I can't remember where I originally saw the research mentioned, but, funnily enough, I think the researcher posted on this site before they began graduates with Neuro-Diversity questionaire The research is to be found in a thread under the "Work" forum dated 25th August 2006 .I hate to...

Despite what some have said here about dyspraxia not holding you back, I've seen a survey somewhere on the net that suggests that graduates with dyspraxia are far less likely than NTs to be in "graduate" employment (regardless of current difficulties for ALL graduates). Even if it can be ...

See my thread in the chat section here-"medical causes of dyspraxia and other neuro issues" and the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/physical_health/conditions/dyspraxia2.shtml "Causes of dyspraxia. Anything that injures the brain may result in dyspraxia. It may be that cells didn't ...

Theres no definite answer to that .A neuropsychologist could say nothing can be definitely ruled in or out but equally that doesn't unambiguously rule enough in. That isn't downright crap that is. Which is why I think those in what I call the do gooding industry encouraging people who have these thi...
