Re: Falling under stress/ anxiety

CBD reduces stress and anxiety because it acts on the body's endocannabinoid system, which is involved in the regulation of many physiological processes, including stress and anxiety. It is a good treatment for this type of illness. In short, you must also have a doctor's prescription for treatment...

Re: Hi

Hi Simon

Firstly welcome to the Forum.Is it a case of you having to note things down that you or others struggle to read or is it report writing.
Have you formally avowed your dyspraxia/asked about them making some adjustments to potentially help?

Re: Do I have Dyspraxia and if so, how Dyspraxic am I?

Hi Alex Definitely not for me to say you're 'only mildly affected' and/or 'moaning over nothing'. They don't really seem to grade dyspraxia, except perhaps at initial assessment when they're looking at what percentile you're in for this or that. The intent with that I believe is to determine a start...

Re: Crawling

Hi Asti I honestly can't remember if anything was said about when I met certain development milestones or how late I was doing them. It's entirely natural upon learning we're dyspraxic to want to go back and wonder and reassess our earlier lives. Dyspraxia presents differently in different people so...
