Dyspraxic Adults

Thanks! I'm definitely going to look into getting a diary. I think it will really help capture all my tasks, so they don't float out of my head! Luckily I deal with a lot of students who have anxiety, so I know of plenty of ways I can deal with my anxiety. Thanks for reassuring me that I'm not ...

Hi guys I work in a pupil referral unit, and although I love my job and do it well, I get so anxious and exhausted sometimes because of my dyspraxia. It feels like the bath is always about to overflow in my head as I have a million and one things to do and remember at work, and the same outside work ...

Oh, I totally agree! I don't believe in dismissing and hating everyone. I know that there's many, many cool and different people to meet and I look forward to those opportunities. I think I'm just at a point where I'm starting to realise how awkward I really am and understand that it's something ...

I like being on my own, a lot. I like being able to do things on my own at my own pace, undisturbed. There's no people to stress me out and I don't have to act like I'm 'normal'.

I was just about to start a new topic on obsessions, but then I found this! I'd say my obsessions are a bit odd. They've lasted from a week to a good few months. I am currently obsessed with watching prison documentaries on Youtube, but before that I was obsessed with eggs and ate around 15 of them ...

I can relate to what Peculiar said. I like to look at my own eyes and imagine tiny universes in every swirl, colour and shape. I also like to look at minute facial features, down to every single colour of every single cell. I like to think about how the world would be shaped differently if our ...

Hi there, I'm also experiencing the same problem. After my degree I want to do a PGCE but the numeracy skills test is completely putting me off, as I know that there is no way I will be able to do it. I don't have a GCSE in maths either so I don't really know why I'm applying because I know that I ...

Hi guys, I've recently been diagnosed with dyspraxia, and one of the MANY things i've been thinking about is sleep. Like, I sleep really awkwardly. I can't sleep in a straight line, I have to curl my body up because it eases the pain I get in my back. If i sleep in a straight line then I wake up ...

I'm definitely artistic/creative. I'm studying Fine Art at Goldsmiths at the moment. I've always drawn and painted, and it's very much part of my identity. I know that my mind is very all over the place and free, which helps me convey my paintings in the way that I want to, but when it comes down to ...
