Dyspraxics present in differing ways so asking questions like this is difficult because other dyspraxics ...

Re: Friend shamed me for being unable to use a can opener

Your friends reaction is inexcusable and it's also sad no one has taken the time to help you find an accessible means for you to open tins independently

Some tins do defy attempts to.open them!

Re: Clumsy Me

Hi and welcome
You're definitely not worthless or useless though the feeling we are is regrettably all too common.

So often unkind and unfair things are said and we internalise and repeat them to ourselves over and over.

Hi Tom

Welcome.
Provision of and access to assessment is woeful for adults.

If your able to afford it a private assessment is an option.
Advice on potential avenues is variable dependent on circumstances.

Re: 65 years old - just learned there is something called dyspraxia

I almost definitely can self diagnose myself as dyspraxic at the age of 70. I appear to be a textbook example of the syndrome but I don't think apart from dyscalcia I have any other specific learning difficulties. Formal diagnosis is expensive to obtain , but a lot of problems I have had in my life ...

Re: Finding my footing after the diagnosis

Hi Austtin Welcome. It can take a while to process the diagnosis and what it means and who and when to mention to others. Quite a lot of dyspraxics are creative and some do their craft for work. Some dyspraxics have ADHD or traits that you'd commonly identified with being ADHD but not necessarily ...
