Dyspraxic Adults

I get really bad mental blocks and find it intensely frustrating. It's like sometimes my brain is free and works at a million miles an hour with ideas galore. And at other times I feel like my brain has been replaced with a brick and doesn't function at all. I have no middle ground and work between ...

I'm Not to bad with PC based games as I've been using mouse and keyboard for years, but I’m hopeless the consoles cos of the joypads particularly guitar hero, absolute nightmare! ^^^^^ This. A keyboard and mouse is like an extension of my hands to me but control pads are more tricky. The control p ...

I can definitely relate to this. There are times I don't even know I'm speaking I just think out loud and have got myself into trouble on so many occasions. It's like the part of my brain that stops me talking switches off. This is not exclusive to dyspraxics but I think the condition exacerbates ...

What's "floating text"?

Needless to say I've never experienced it.

Going back to a previous point, when I was first dignosed with dyspraxia I dident relay know what dyspraxia was and how it affected me, (i just thought it was simmler to dyslexia but I could read) I was in a school for people with simmler difculties and I dident think much was wrong etc. I worked ...

Having lived with housemates for several years, bringing people back has never been an issue. I wouldn't worry about it.

A-men to that!! If you're anything like me then you just HAVE to be different. :grin: Yup, normalcy is so very over rated in my opinion :D . I'm the same with respect to my assessments at school, up until a couple of years ago when I had a word with one of the ed psychs at uni I only knew about the ...

Maybe I should try and put a postive spin on things I guess it would be a good oportunity to try and educate them a bit about dyspraxia also I think I've decided to ...

This reminds me of the time when I dropped my mobile down a drain when running for a bus.

I totally get this. I find communicating and getting to know people SO much easier online and on social networks. It's not that I can't socialise, it's just that I'm very bad at getting to know people who I've not met before. When I talk to someone online I find it far easier to break the ice and ...

Good advice. Thanks for that.
