Re: Hi
Hey, welcome to the site/ community if you have any questions/ queries, don't hesitate to ask. You can post, and I feel most of us are amenable to PMs too
Re: Advice
Hey, fellow student here! Scientifically, the best way to learn is teaching (having not really done it my self, I'm being somewhat hypocritical however). Talk to family members/ friends, and try to teach them some of the more complicated stuff that you have trouble with. I don't do many essays howev...

Re: How do you stand?
I was told by a swimming coach that I stand weirdly, although I've never really noticed it myself

Re: Did you get over your first love?
I had an interesting though about this the other day, even when I got over her, the girls I subsequently liked for a couple of years somewhat resembled my first major crush. However as ssuma put it, time heals almost everything. Give it time, and you will get over them. Besides, if you're only with ...

Re: I've been living a life of isolation
I agree with Tom, go out and try things, find something you enjoy, whatever it is there will be a club you can join where you can meet like- minded people, and don't over- analyse things. If you do, you'll find it harder to go out and you'll just shrink inside yourself more!

Re: My son
Tell him, I found out when I was 8, and I didn't feel any different from my peers, I just felt it was me, and it was something I would have to get used to it, finding out didn't change the way I acted. I think if you told him that he had dyspraxia, and explain it, it would help him understand himsel...

Re: DATES....Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Dates I'm generally OK with, times are a very different matter. I used to miss a massive amount of music lessons when I was in school because I would forget about them until about an hour later

Good luck, sometimes just having a label for your problems can be a big relief for some people, hope it all goes well

Re: Fast learner, but easily bored
Hey, I'm quite similar in many ways, I find studying for a protracted period of time impossible, and I'm always doing things impulsively, rather than planning them. Some degrees record some/ all of their lectures, it's something you could look at, I've missed dozens of lectures on my course so far b...

Re: Thinking of getting a degree
Hey, JamesAnthony I'm currently at uni and my handwriting is also pretty poor illegible. As a dyspraxic, I get extra time in exams, which means that I can write slower/neater. In addition, I've been given the opportunity to type my answers on a word processor (I prefer pen and paper more though word...

Re: Stupid mistakes on easy tasks.
I know the feeling of stupid mistakes. I always litter exams with them. The classical example I always use is during an A level maths mock, my working was perfect but the answer came out wrong. I went back over it and halfway through I'd multiplied 1*2 and written down 1 as the answer, throwing the ...

Re: Dyspraxia and depression
It's a shame CBT didn't work for you Katie, it's generally much better than drugs and without side effects (MorganK, I would definitely recommend it for you). In terms of pills; people do better with different pills, it's just about finding the one that works for you :) . Hope it works out for you g...

Re: Growing up dyspraxic?
Mattie's point about the self-fulfilling prophecy is important. Don't let any of your perceived shortcomings define you, or they will lead to greater anxiety when you are in a situation that forces you to acknowledge them, instead; think of them as parts of you that have more room for growth. Person...

Re: Nerves when speaking to people for the first time
As an update, at least in this situation- I'm now pretty comfortable. It took me longer than my collegues, but a combination: of 'faking it until you make it' as Elizabeth put it, and also other factors (for example, when you're putting needles into people's arms on a regular basis, interviewing the...

Re: Has anyone tried a trike?
I guess it would make sense to use a trike to get the relevant important movements (like braking) into your muscle memory, but I would suggest in a longer term to get used to the balance required for a bike. Bikes are much more agile than a tricycle could be, and they aren't as wide, so they can fit...
