Dyspraxic Adults

You can't read your own writing and are rubbish at team sports.

Glad, I am not the only one who gets this. I gave up coffee for about two years I realised later on that I was self medicating to help with foggy days. Now I have coffee every few days (if I drink it every day I get depressed and it starts losing its effect).

I used to feel more comfortable around older people, however having mixed with people I realised it was because I have interests that people who were older than me had and that older people were more tolerant of my social quirks. While growing up I encountered people who didn't fit the conventional ...

Hi I've been diagnosed with a few neurodevelopmental disorders (also high autistic trait and mild dyslexia) dyspraxia among them also diagnosed with anxiety (I've had panic attacks) and depression (also somatic symptoms). I have noticed that I have days when I am very good and days when I can barely...

As for research I think I might give up nearly 7 years and two disastrous placements (one department nearly closed down and the other had 50% redundancies) have occurred since graduation from my masters. I am also looking at being self employed it might be best as the...
