Re: does anyone find this a problem?
I've been told I tell the same stories over and over again.

Re: Dyspraxia and Autism
I'm really confused, because I had an evaluation several years ago and autistic spectrum disorder was ruled out, but I was diagnosed with developmental coordination disorder. I researched that and read, almost everywhere, that it's just a fancier name for dyspraxia. And then you just said that it's ...

Dyspraxia and Autism
Tonight I was asked if I had autism again. This happens a lot. She said that somebody told her a while ago that I had autism but it was meant to be mean. She stood up for me, but I still don't understand why people would confuse me with someone with autism. They must be so ignorant about me. I'm ext...

Re: Random moments of energy
I get random spurts of energy sometimes. And when I do, I get loud, and sometimes my mom said the pitch in my voice hurts her ears lol

Symptom or Phobia?
Ok, so this is kind of embarrassing for me to ask, but does anyone have a thing they hate more than anything? Mine is saliva (and anything that comes out of the human body, i.e. blood, sweat, tears, oil, etc.) It's not that I'm afraid of it, it just grosses me out. I really can't explain it. Do you ...

Re: Feeling Constricted from Clothes or Food
I'm glad I'm not the only one that has problems with those things.

Feeling Constricted from Clothes or Food
Does anyone have a problem with clothes? I can't wear jewelry or shirts that touch my neck; turtlenecks, scarfs, etc. I also don't like wearing shoes that go over the ankles and pants that are too tight. Also, does anyone's throat close up when they eat or drink? Sometimes when I eat or drink, I cho...

Re: Dyspraxics can be fussy eaters
I do have allergies, but not to food, more indoor/outdoor and year round. When it comes to food, I like certain textures, but other textures I tend to stay away from. Tapioca pudding, for one thing, despite the delicious flavor, I can't stand the texture. I recently have been able to overcome my hat...

Re: Good Hobbies/Activities for dyspraxics
My gross motor skills are bad. When I run, I feel as if I'm going down a steep, loose-gravel road and I could fall head first any second. Jumping and throwing, and also hitting a baseball are nearly impossible for me. I do have really good fine motor skills though. Thankfully. I am an artist and goi...

Re: Fatigue
I do get fatigued, but not sleepy. I actually have insomnia. My fatigue is more physical exhaustion from doing menial chores. I dread cleaning the bathroom or organizing my room, because it's just too overwhelming and tiring. Hence always living in a cluttered environment. I try to exercise, but I f...

Re: Our view of the world
I like to look at peoples eye color; at all the intricate designs and patterns and sometimes multiple colors in the iris's. I've noticed that I have dark blue outlines, and in the middle I have a teal color, and that's mixed with a yellow color that's coming from the outer rims of the pupil. I also ...

Re: Does this sound familiar?
I'm like that almost completely, except for giving people favors. I don't really have an issue doing that usually, but sometimes I do. When I do have a problem doing someone a favor, I keep my thoughts to myself. I've learned over the years that sometimes I hurt people's feelings by expressing my tr...

Re: QUIRK-ISMS
I have a lot of body movement I can't really control. I mean, if I think about it, I can stop, but my body wants to keep moving. For instance, I'm always swaying or rocking in my seat if I don't have something to rest my back against, but when I do, my feet start tapping. I'm always fidgeting with m...

Re: WHAT IS DYSPRAXIA by Joy
Well done on the poem. I wish there were more people around me with Dyspraxia. I'm alone over here. I'm glad I found this forum!
