Dyspraxic Adults

You're welcome, Definitely ask your GP but please be aware NHS provision for Adult Assessment is really not good. So do consider whether the occupational health route might be an option.

The topic about finding cheap flights is always a hot one, especially for those of us who love to travel but don't want to break the bank. From organizing your stuff to dealing with unexpected changes in plans, there's a lot to consider. Plus, sharing tips and experiences can be super helpful for e...

Hi everyone, my name is Matt. I am 53. I was a clumsy, hyperactive child. I am a clumsy and hyperactive adult,which is can be pretty desctructive, since I weigh about 80Kgs, I basically leave a trail of devastation. At school (back in the 70's) I was labelled 'minimally brain damaged'; which is cha...

Hi Edward/Ed If you have verbal dyspraxia, it likely significantly increases chances chance you'll have other dyspraxic traits. Similarly quite a few with dyspraxia also have hypermobility. Being dyspraxic is regrettably often accompanied by a good measure of anxiety and stress which can exacerbate ...

Hello to all, and good to meet you. I was diagnosed with developmental dyspraxia at age 4. I am now 43, and have an 11 month old son. I recently moved away from his father, who was a drug addict and mentally abusive. I have always struggled with maintaining a work-life balance, cleaning, cooking, o...

Thanks have incorporated Dyspraxia Collective link into directory of reseources

Anyone who claims expertise is unlikely to be an expert - sorry I cannot actively help maybe have a go at the questionnaire and contact those writers following the dyspraxia foundation's closure. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSelH6kRyMSloneWXDPa-JK20yMv30yTcikbRfWcVZ5L9wddkg/viewform?pli...

Please add more ideas/suggestions

1) I'm based in the UK and believe I may be dyspraxic, what are my best options for diagnosis/assessment?

2) is it worth it? What help will I get?

Hi Andrew
I've sent you a private message.

Updated. Now I've had chance to look more closely at the link on my main computer I see it's in the DyspraxiaUK group on FB. Regrettably I'm not rejoining that group any time soon on a matter of principle.

Hi Mark

Aging is a degenerative condition. Sadly I don't think there has been much research into whether or to what extent dyspraxia and aging have a dual impact.

Hi Jan and Everyone I have just found this site and joined. Like you, Jan, I date back to the time of the dinosaurs when dyspraxia hadn't been heard of. I was the kid in school whose work always got a red line through it and the comment 'untidy work'. I just couldn't write tidily but no one underst...

Private assessment seem to cost of the order of £500+.Dyspraxia UK have a network of Occupational Therapists (OTs) or PATOSS are an association for specialist teachers who might be able to assess.

Hi Andrew Regrettably this forum is something of a backwater these days and doesn't get the level.of activity that many of the social media platforms get. Also I think people are still in shock and/or waiting for more details to emerge. I think the key questions and needs to be met are How in the cu...
