Re: Help me learn how to remember

I decided to become an Accountant BEFORE I learned I have Dyspraxia. May have gone down a different mid-life career route. The memory aspect of accounting is huge.

Re: Dyspraxia Foundation forced to cease operations.

Re: Dyspraxia Foundation forced to cease operations

It seems that despite the efforts of all those who work and volunteer for the DF they've had to declare themselves as insolvent. This Forum is independent of the DF so we'll remain as a source of information /signposting and peer support. Obsolete is regrettably the wrong word as an organisation tha...

As for emotions and reactions, it's definitely a learning curve. I've found that picking my battles and recognizing when my emotions might not sway others' actions has been helpful. It's all about finding that balance between caring deeply and not letting it drain us. On a somewhat related note, I ...
