Re: No idea of where to go with work

Try the Genius Within website. The people behind it are pretty cool.

Re: Positive stories about work/employers

It's a good post, but I don't see you getting many replies here, although in many ways you *should*. I believe that with the talent profile of dyspraxia and the way this alternative brain wiring is categorised by what we can't do so well (as opposed to a more accurate, comprehensive definition ...

Re: DSA

Dear Syeda, Don't agree my friend, sorry. We already have an advantage due to our dyspraxic thinking and get certain insights as 'obvious' when others can't see them. Also I found a DSA really helpful. Don't think about the marking stickers (I can see how you find that as lame), think about non ...

Re: university exams

Hey Farwa, It's a common theme: taking a long time, having to work differently, falling behind and experiencing emotional distress. There's some really great stuff here on each of these aspects and I'm working to collate some of it. Take the time to read around - you will find some great advice ...

Re: Uni

Hey Kylie, I hear you. Starting a part time masters and got the same feeling (got my undergraduate on the third attempt). Got a personal assesment and development module which I've got into - looking at skills gaps, etc. Aged 31, diagnosed at 18 months and I still know so little about it. I find ...

Re: Dyspraxics with PhD degrees

Hi, I'm 31 and am starting a masters part time. After dropping out of school once and Uni twice, it will be a challenge. Great to hear that (some) Unis are being supportive. I find it very moving to read people's thoughts and experiences on here. I guess we all know on some level that the emotional ...

Re: Writing a dissertation!

Hi guys, Just found this site last night - it is awesome!! I am dyspraxic and have started studying for a part time masters. After dropping out of one school and two Universities the first time round, it is pretty daunting. Sadly also lost my job five months ago, so times are a little more ...

Re: Dyspraxia and rowing

Hi, I'm dyspraxic and rowed a lot in school and University. I don't know how much it helped my dyspraxia, but once you have good technique on the ergo/concept 2, doing long sessions at a slower pace will give you more rhythm. Yes, it is harder to master the integration of your rowing with that of ...
