Re: How long did it take you to learn to drive?

Just a little update; I'm about to do my practical test next week for the second time. I passed my theory in the spring last year and I attempted my practical for the first time in November, now I'm finally giving it another go. My last practical test actually went fairly well, it wasn't as if I fai...

Re: we have a make up thread - so what about shaving?

I don't seem to have much of a problem shaving my face, I might have to go back over it with the razor alot of the time due to missing bits, but I don't find it too awkward and it doesn't take me too long. I don't bother shaving very often anyway. However, I like to shave my armpits every now and th...

Religion

After having a quick look at the "Religious philosophy?" thread, I thought it'd be interesting to create a poll on this. Here's hoping that this thread doesn't get out of hand.

I'm an agnostic btw, I'll probably explain it in further detail after but I'm about to call it a night. :)

Re: Have you been diagnosed?

Not officially, no. But I would like to be so that I can have something to show for my condition, at least then nobody can accuse me of just being lazy and using the excuse of dyspraxia to get out of everything. Not that anyone's ever said anything like that to me touch wood but just in case. I do h...

How long did it take you to learn to drive?

If you're currently learning like myself then just say how long you've been learning for and how you're getting on. For me, it's been about 8 months now and all in all I'm doing fairly well, I mainly messed up on reversing around corners today though, the rest was generally good. I'm just curious as...

Re: You know you're dyspraxic when

You know you're dyspraxic when you get told that you'd trip over your own shadow.

Re:

'bout sums me up too Shadwell.' The Googling combination I think was "dyspraxia in adults" because I kept on getting pages for children and was looking for info since I was (about) to be re-diagnosed for university. Now if I don't have a bookmark I just google dyspraxia adults - and it's ...

Re: Contributions needed for new Dyspraxic Adults website

I'll be willing to help as much as I can. I'd like to try writing an article about what dyspraxia is and all that jazz, I may also be able to help with the design/layout of the site if necessary.

Hope I can be of use,
Adam.

Re: I'm at war...

It's wrong that your colleagues just sat back and made light of your struggle, it doesn't help, could any of them have given you a hand? All the more reason why I don't want a career in an office environment really, I wouldn't be at all suprised if I was constantly finding myself in situations like ...

Re: Job status

I'm currently a full-time student looking for work in the evenings and/or Saturdays. I'm doing a paper round atm and get EMA, but I'm finding it quite hard to survive on my current income, hence I'm looking for new work.

I haven't been officially diagnosed with dyspraxia but when I was 16, just under two years ago, one of my college lecturers finally picked up on it and so I...
