Dyspraxic Adults

Hello hope you're all well, me and my boyfriend matt are running yes I repeat dyspraxia and running well it will probably be part walk part unco-ordinated flap 5 miles for the national lottery anniversary run. I was so awful (still am) at running so quite proud of myself for doing this. We're doing ...

making everything look straight mainly and trying to get it to look straight when balancing. I'm getting better at using the gilateen for acking stuff but still have to take a lot of time to mae sure everything is straight/equal border etc.

My mum and dad have said that I'm like a square peg in a round hole. I was planning on leaving anyway but to be told things like that. I could have understood if it was issues like organisation/memory/ time keeping etc as these are things which I'm still coming with coping strategies with. My mum an...

I think it's either see the ot or I loose my job sorry if I didn't make that clear.

Mind mapping is often really recommended for dyslexic and dyspraxic students as it can help getting thoughts onto paper. There is software called imagination which is really good for this.

I currently work in year 3 and have been for a while although I'm thinking of going into specialist teaching as I feel the job I'm in atm has no progression and I'm not using the strengths I have. The headteacher came and had a word with me on Friday and said she was struggling where to put me next ...

Hey Andrea I might be able to help a little we also work in a similar environment I work as a teaching assistant in a primary school and have supported quite a few children with special needs. I was diagnosed dyspraxic at 4 but always thought there was something else there the older I got and though...

I can completely relate to everything you said there I'd be the same, I hate change epecially when it's to do with memory and organisation issues it just throws me completely as I get it stuck in my head where things are as my memory and organisation are naturally so weak. Your boyfriend needs to mo...

My boyfriend does it all the time, I'm not sure he's aware he's doing it. Even more interestingly I'm the dyspraxic one.

I'm really lucky in that my boyfriend is really understanding I think he deffo has dyspraxic traits himself maybe not enough to get diagnosed so he often does things the same way as me and often is clumsier than me.

I get really anxious in snow/ice too I end up walking like a penguin or at snail speed I always think I'm going to fall I'm like that on a lot of uneven sufaces so you're not on your own.

I have dyspraxia and have dyslexic traits too so deffo can relate to what you're saying about the spelling missing letters thing, probably one of the places where the conditions overlap?
My sense of direction is awful too can get me into some amusing situations with my bf.

Thanks both for your advice, I don't know why schools in general are so bitchy when they're supposed to be helping kids. I've never really as an adult felt like Im that dyspraxic/dyslexic but its made me really paranoid about if it's really obvious. I've always had really low confidence and self est...
