Dyspraxic Adults

It was my first time after 2 years worth of lessons. It's very disheartening when after trying for so hard, I had reached my test and then to fail and fail badly.

If you drive, how did you over come some of the challenges that came with it?

I have been talking these (fish oil tablets)for a while :) I figured that it's easy to take them, so i may as well give them a try. Hoping to see some long term results I have also being doing for a while. It's very hard to know whether they are improving things in terms of mental functioning since...

But it does make intuitive sense that good quality fats help the brain to work better. I have been talking these for a while :) I figured that it's easy to take them, so i may...

Thank you for replying too. As you and ram have suggested , i will definitely wean myself off the fizzy drinks. If you don't mind me asking, do you have a few meals that are your personal favourites? In particular, breakfast? :) Yeah, sure. So I'm a creature oh habit, so I have the same breakfast p...

I'm a student nurse, it can be hugely frustrating and i have had a lot of stumbling blocks along the way. The type of environment i work in can help or hinder my dyspraxia. I hope when i qualify i can work in elderly care, as that seems to be well suited to my needs, it's not too specialised that i ...

For a long time, i have wanted to be a nurse however, there are certain aspects that are affected by my condition. For example,i struggle to work 12 hour shifts.
