I have noticed that some people who are diagnosed with dyspraxia have vary strong traits of having aspergers.But others show no traits of this disorder. Is it true a pyscholgist would diagnose dyspraxia to not label the child as having a form of autism? I ask, as a friend of mine he has dyspraxia an...

I dont know if anyone can realte but being dyspraxic, can anyone relate in only being able to communicate during certain hours of the day? I find i can't communicate well with people if i've been concentrating a lot in school and then meet them as i have so many thoughts trailing through my head. I ...

Alley Cat and Alladin, i really feel for you both after reading your experiences. I believe often teachers can be cautiouis of labbeling a child due to the paossible impilcations later life, by not stating more problems occur for sufferer. Also people tend to generalise when someone says they have a...

No case of dyspraxia is the same! Some people will display a lot of dyspraxia symtptoms but in mild dosages, others will have adhd and dyspraxia and other will be dyslexia and dyspraxia - which bascially means you have a cocktail of symtpoms of each disorder, which i know i certaintly do! I certaint...

Thanks for the reply! Im fully aware of the benefits an official diagnosis which is the main reason i pushed forward to get a diangnosis whith my parents help.

This causes a lot of issues for me socially and im fully aware of it and it really lowers my self esteem as i now i must appear really bad from the listners perspective. :( For istance: I was recently with a friend, she has dyspraxia aswell and we went in a cafteria to get some lunch. I can follow t...

I have a real deficit in problem solving - so this really does make it very hard for me to understand things and have flexible thinking! I get eaisly offended by jokes as i take them the wrong way, therfore i dont really like sarcaism....

I have those "ticks" of being very giddy and yes im daignosed dyspraxic, but only got diagnosed a yeah and a half ago - at 17, and needed learning assitant throughout my schooling life. When im very nervous about an appointment or a new situation i will start laughing, it makes my mom laug...

Yeah,i seem to be surrounded by them everywhere i go,lol.Its not an uncommon condition.
I definately believe the male to female ratio is equal,but less girls are detected becuase were more self critical from early on.

Yes i can and reasonably well compared with other people.I was always a fish in the water and it was the one sport i would actually do and enjoy rather then refuse.

I can relate to this problem tremendously,i often convince myself im going to sit down and study a paticular subject,once im seated i sit and the shere though of even doing it is overwhelming and then i just rest my head on the desk and plan what im going to do but once it comes round to it,im too t...
