Day To Day Tasks
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...

Fed Up Of People Trying It On With Comments About MY Weight
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...

Cousin of My Mother And Husband Issue
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...

Re: How to help my sister?

Society does not understand hidden disabilities especially dyspraxia. That they are mostly a joke o...

Re: Survey on Dyspraxia and Higher Education

Re: Survey on Dyspraxia and Higher Education
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...

Re: Survey on Dyspraxia and Higher Education
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 ...

Re: Appropriate work
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.

Re: Why For ND Students Benefit Aren't Texts 100% Online?
As a postgraduate myself I do not use traditional library services. In fact I haven't read any books or paper journals for years. These are easily accessible online, assuming your university has the required subscription via Athens etc. I am a Graduate (Politics 1st class honours) so would you know...
