Re: Phobias/Fears

I'm terrified of slipping over. If the ground seems a bit slippy when I'm walking on a hill I can end up unable to move for a while. Every foothold starts to look far too steep to stand on even if it's not. A slightly stranger one is things swinging. If I see one of those big cardboard signs hanging...

Re: Hello Fellow Dyspraxians!

Hi Tom, Some good picks there, my favourites are probably Circle Jerks, Buzzcocks, Toy Dolls, GBH, T.S.O.L. The first song me and my bloke ever danced to together was "Woman" by Anti-Nowhere League, hope that's not a bad omen ha ha ha. The best thing about punk: It doesn't matter how stupi...

Re: How did you find out about the Dyspraxic Adults Forum?

Same for me, I was hoping to read about and perhaps even talk to other people who can relate to having dyspraxia. Except I found it on DuckDuckGo because I dislike Google spying on me! :D

Hello Fellow Dyspraxians!

My mum always thought I had dyslexia but none of the teachers at primary school were interested. When I went to university they were offering free assessments so I had one just out of curiosity. Turns out I have dyslexia and dyspraxia. They did offer some help (free computer, extra exam time, etc) b...
