Re: Good Hobbies/Activities for dyspraxics

Also Yoga and pilates is really good. The strenuous excercise and stretching of yoga helps really relax the muscles and aids concentration and improves balance as well as increasing fitness.

Re: Good Hobbies/Activities for dyspraxics

I do archery and piano. They don't seem to be affected by dyspraxia like other things are. Most sports I am terrible at. Team games such as football I get really disorientated and I am not aware of my positioning. I was an ok defender because you have one area and a specific role. I could never be a ...

Re: Loss of concentration

I have terrible concentration problems. If my mind is not solely on one thing I just cannot function. If I try to do work but have different topics or assignments on my mind plus other pressures or other things occupying my mind I don't really get much work done. I am an archer. I have been shooting ...

Re: Any single dyspraxic peeps!!!

I have been single for 4 years now. I have recently found out that the girl I really like has a boyfriend :'(. It would be really nice to meet a dyspraxic girl as we would understand each other more and be able to cope with feelings better. So if you are a girl and are sweet and often over emotional ...

Re: Getting into a relationship (both friendhip and romantic

Yeah the label thing is annoying, cant people just judge you on your personality and not whether your appearance and behaviour fits the norm. I am a skinny emo dyspraxic so like you not the easiest of things especially in school. School was a nightmare because i just didn't fit in. I was messy ...

Re: Dyspraxia and sex

funny thing is, sex is one thing I don't find difficult (probably all the porn i watch). As I am very affectionate and passionate I find it easy to be close to people and as it is a one on one situation (usually) with someone i am comfortable with i find it easier than most things. My problem with ...

Re: Dyspraxia putting a strain on relationships

Yes I find dyspraxia does have an impact on relationships. When I first had a girlfriend at 17 I just did not understand how to empathise with her. I was a nice guy and very thoughtful but I could not get my head around how she thought differently and how she reacted to things in very different ways ...

Re: Learning to drive

I took a long time to pass, but gladly not 8 years. I passed after 18 months of starting driving lessons. Like someone above/bellow said, I was always better at manouvers then the rest of driving. This is because you learn manouvers in a formulated and structured way, you do thingsone at a time and ...
