Dyspraxic Adults

yes I get what you mean, there are lots of risks with all kinds of things, like having fillings removed and such.

By Ken Cook, President of the Environmental Working Group Fish is beyond compare as a source of many nutrients vital to the developing infant, some of which may actually enhance development of the nervous system in babies and young children. Widespread contamination of fish with toxic mercury ...

Hi, Does anyone know anything about the effects of mercury associated with neurological disabilities? I'm currently trying to do some research into mercury poisoning and how it can affect the foetus during pregnancy, but I am only finding small snippets of information.

Maybe just try consciously making ...

Thank you Tom for your reply. I guess the question I was really asking was, was it okay for my parents to keep such a big thing from me?

Hey, Thank you so much for your reply. I know what you mean about wanting to do the same things as siblings, my mum always wanted me to be able to do things everyone else could do. Like i said, it made me a lot stronger as a person not knowing, as I had to push myself much harder to 'fit in'. I have ...

Hello all, I'm new to this forum, I've only snooped so far, so I thought I'd add to the feed. I've recently found out I'm dyspraxic at 25 years old, however I was diagnosed at 7/8 years old.
