Dyspraxic Adults

Yes, i've certainly had my moments with confidence and self-esteem! Most of the time I'm pretty stable but I have had a few huge dips. Mainly during times of big changes in my life like finding a course to do at uni, changing courses and trying to find a job. I thought I'd NEVER find employment (so ...

You can blame Mr Moderator's encouragement for this long winded post ;) When it comes to aetiology many paths lead to Rome. Causal pathways are usually not straightforward and sometimes many different factors combined can contribute to a disorder. I don’t know much about dyspraxia research but I k...

Definately made sense! understood completely. That feeling has come up a lot so you are definately not alone. I often felt like htat in the past and even gave up my provisoins at one stage because i was made ot feel really bad. i still get scared to ask for help and am quite bad at it too!!! (and i ...

Two interesting points there from the medical profession's point of view is that they *are* treating Dyspraxia as being on the autistic spectrum (something which is of some debate) I'm just editing an opinionated post of mine! The interesting thing is nonverbal learning disability is often consider...

I got a lot out of reading your responses. i was thinking about it to myself but was a bit stumped. it looks like we need stuff from functional imaging to cognitive issues to social issues and day-to-day life issues... I guess it would be great to see some functinal imaging studies on dyspraxia. i d...

I guess i am avoiding the rat-race. i don't think i would survive working in an office in the city if that makes any sense. so many of my friends have to finish a certain case-load of work per day. i don't think i would really do well in that sort of environment. where it is heaviliy focussed on jus...

This is just a hypothetical, but...

what stuff about dyspraxia in adulthood would you like to be researched??

I doubt there is too much that has been researched about dyspraxia in adults.

so why don't we make list some things that should be?...

congrats pooky. hope all goes well. I just became a student again... real stupid hey!? #-o its only a post-grad cert but its sooo much work. Wasn’t expecting this much work. Its mainly web-based – all lectures are streamed online so I rarely have to go in. I’m also going to college a couple of...

Hi Emmur, i can relate to what you are saying. At around the same age as you, I found out that i had a diagnosis of cerebral palsy! I was diagnosed when i was quite young (around 2yrs old) but my parents never really told me. They claimed that they tried when i was older but that i wouldnt listen. s...

hey! welcome on board. I'm from that island next to yours (the bigger one). The dyspraxia NZ site was how i discovered dyspraxia. I googled my own diagnosis and up popped this site. I think it is very informative - especially the "what is dyspraxia" page. great site. I wouldn't be writing ...

erm... this reply is a bit late. only just noticed this recently... what did i do? well i got a day off work! \:D/ we had a BBQ at work the day before. thats all i did. not very patriotic was it? The Aussie flag was banned at the Big Day Out which was a bit of a laugh to be honest. http://www.theage...

I can't parallel park

our suburb have just had our lightbulbs replaced with low energy ones. people contracted by the government came around to our house a few months ago and changed all our bulbs over. we couldn't stand it at first... however nobody could be bothered changing them all back! now we don't even think about...

my parents have framed some of my drawings and people seem to like them. i also have heaps of scuptures around the place... outside and in. I loved art and doing creative things when i was young. i also have a diagnosed motor problem. i think motor skills consist of many different things. i have rea...
