Re: Afraid that my dyspraxia will destroy my dream
One thing I've found about dyspraxia is that it gives you amazing analytical skills. That can be a good and bad thing. You can start analysing what everyone else is thinking but lets face it, others body language isn't our forte. Its common that you can think others are picking up on this, and you m...

Thank you all. I appreciate your well wishes and welcomes. Mike, I hope this is the first step to just hiding behind it and being awkward. I've pushed away or alienated too many people. I need to change that. The autism stuff came from other symptoms (don't know a better word to describe them right ...
