I read exactly what you wrote in the first place.

Obviously not giving your answer.

The thing with the internet is that it is a safe place, you build up an image of someone, rightly or wrongly and the real thing, might be different to how you thought. Personally, If you are talking to a girl for only a few hours in person, I think she's right in saying it's moving too fast by ...

Hmm, well, I've just had a bit of a bad experience. Went on a date yesterday with a girl I met online. It was all going fine, we were getting along really well, kissed a bit, etc and about 4 hours into the date she suddenly turned to me and said things were "going too fast", etc. Now, it was her who ...

I'm terrible with shaving. So, I generally don't. Pro: I don't cut my face to shreds, don't have to worry about adding an extra hour (literally) to my "get up and dressed" time - Con: I look very much like the art student bum that I am, and scare my neighbors daughter! (Seriously, if I have a beard ...

I think slipping through the net is very common - I didn't find out until 4-5 months after turning 18. And I know I'm not alone in that, especially on here. Funny though, I knew of Dyspraxia before I was diagnosed, from people I'd met that had it. And all of them were diagnosed really early on in ...

I really need to goto a DANDA meet, I'm just a bit nervous about it... why, I don't know, I just am.

mr_mallow: So my school failed to have me tested? Well I don’t know, it’s not like it’s easy to know if some one has dyspraxia is it? It’s not like I knew I had it when I was younger. You're twisting my words. I said that it is the school's responsabillity to pay for the test, not the NHS's, ...

GP's don't really deal with that sort of thing - its educational psychologists and occupational therapists that have the training to diagnose and work with dyspraxia. Besides, the NHS don't pay for that sort of thing. Even as a child its the education authority or the school itself that would pay ...

Hey!

Welcome to the forums!

I mainly listen to things like the news quiz, the now show (punt and dennis are my hero's) but I've actually found myself getting into Steve Right's show, not for the music, but because he has a good way of approaching various different topics. I'm also sad enough to listen to anything about ...

I had a similar situation to the above article, though, obviously not that extreme. I was given a 'statement' in early secondry school, that listed none of the problems I have with dyspraxia, weirdly enough, and I was put into a special needs school with no effort made to diagnose or treat my ...

Cool; that uni of your sounds very posh, mrmallow! :P I love photography! What kind of stuff do ylou photograph? I like contemporary, unusual stuff! :D Its an amazing place... though with my complete lack of sense of direction, its a nightmare to navigate! I'm really into fashion photography, which ...

ABC Diploma in Image Production (Photography) at University of the Arts London. If I pass this they will let me onto a BA course, I believe. I don't have GCSE's/A-Levels though so nothings certain.

I'm listening to mainly Goth Metal at the moment, though, I can't listen to anything on the train as I had a severe ear infection, and just can't put headphones in now.
