Re: Self diagnosis?

Thanks Mopps, I can see what you mean. I am currently in negotiation with HR at my work to see if an assessment is possible, since my colleagues won't make any adjustments without a formal diagnosis. Feel like I have finally figured out what is wrong but can't get anyone to listen, all I want is to ...

Re: Did my ex-girlfriend have Dyspraxia? :-(

Hi, It sounds like there were lots of difficulties she was facing, and it can be hard to be supportive when you don't know what is going on for her. Obviously it is impossible to know online, but some of the traits you suggest sound like some elements of Aspergers/ASD. e.g. tendency to prefer ...

Re: Self diagnosis?

Thanks Nicky. That is very kind of you. I will look into seeing someone like Annette if the GP will not help me. I have tried to contact the dyspraxia foundation Berks group, but the website has only got a broken email address. So I haven't been able to get in touch. Do you happen to have any df ...

Re: Self diagnosis?

Thanks Binary, the colleague is the same grade as me, so I did complain to my office manager, who didn't really respond, but I am hoping might at least keep an eye out for me. My direct line manager is not very proactive, and I hate feeling like I am nagging for some support. Its nice to know that I ...

Re: advice on making friends

Hi Charlie, I'm a 28 yr old woman with possible/undiagnosed dyspraxia, and I'm not sure I can give any useful advice but I wanted to post just to say hi :) Online friends are a mixed bag - specialised forums like this have fewer people but they are more likely to be genuine/interested/share some ...

Re: Self diagnosis?

This thread is very interesting to me - I am going through the same questions - could I be dyspraxic? Should I get tested? Is it worth the stress and expense? I am touched by Emily's story of waiting a whole working life. I am struggling at work in a job that, on paper, I am over-qualified for. I ...

Clumsy and untidy?

Hello everyone, :banana: I hope you don't mind me saying hi. I haven't got a diagnosis, but the more I read I am convinced I have most of the dyspraxic traits (with the exception of handwriting issues). So maybe I am not just very forgetful and clumsy?! I am 28, live in Berkshire. The biggest hurdle ...
