Dyspraxic Adults

@ alessandro - that sounds extremely familiar to me... especially in the more energy spent appearing functional than being functional part. The worst is when I become aware I’m having trouble keeping up with what someone is telling me and get distracted by my own internal commentary, going from stru...

You mean both of those things aren’t normal, everyday issue everyone has to deal with?

Because both of those things are basically my life. If you were to do a montage of my day to day living an extortionate amount would be me wrestling with zips and getting tangled up in my headphones

Everyone's said it already, but don't let being dyspraxic get in the way of trying new hobbies.

Often to the point where I get an internal running commentary competing with the instructions, pointing out how much I'm not understanding it right now...

Just stumbled upon it through google. I got diagnosed with dyspraxia when I was 17 (nearly 12 years ago... #-o ) I'd definitely categorize my issues as mild, so I occasionally forget until something comes and (sometimes literally) hits me in the face to remind me - this time it's my alignment gettin...
