Dyspraxic Adults

Hi everyone, I recently read an article about dyspraxia and realized that it was talking about me! I found out that there was a name for some of the difficulties I have had since childhood. I learned that I was not just an awkward clumsy person and that other people had these same problems. I am lo...

The big issue is decision making - informality can work well but eventually a structure is needed. The key to an organisation is that no individual is more significant than any other and especially the views of those who are at variance with the majority need to be considered and not disregarded. No...

Hi, Im pretty certain I have dyspraxia but as I am 35 and gine this long without support is it worth chasing a diagnosis? What support or help is available once a diagnosis is given? I own a business so self employed and so dont require any accomodations at work, I am studying a degree so perhaps s...

If you want to be part of it - please reply to this post and say what you can do/will do. I have started it of here or more to the point continued what others did from 1998. I will offer my experience and thoughts and a fair financial contribution. Firstly, we need a website and a way of contacting ...

I consider THIS forum is a far better form of SOCIAL MEDIA than the commercially dominated Facebook and X/Twitter type of websites. I once posted regularly here, only stopping and not restarting much when there was a hacking incident, now long forgotten. We had a wonderful Yahoo Groups Archive going...

I no longer have showering facilities at home and have never considered this before but there could be something in it though I suspect for most it is equally an issue of familiarirty.

I am old and also find hugs difficult except from with a very few people.

It has been announced the Dyspraxia foundation is closing so the Helpline is not available at present. Whether the service can be Re established is unknown at present but hopefully all the information will eventually continue to be available. Meantime please use this forum for enquiries, some member...

1. When I realised I was not going to get a publicly funded assessment after about two years of attempts I took the advice of the Dyspraxia Foundation's Adult adviser and commissioned a report from a Chartered Psychologist who the DF's adviser personally recommended in 2002. That only had limited va...

Please tell me if I have posted this in the best place to get maximum attention. I am a no longer active member of the DF. See the announcement on their Facebook website. "Birmingham Conference cancelled! It is with enormous regret that the very difficult decision has been made to cancel the Bi...

"I should be delighted that this report has been produced and that it came from the personal intervention of Robert Buckland, the Lord Chancellor - but somehow I am not having been going on about the the business especially since I realised I am dyspraxic in 1999 - Actually really since the beg...

Maybe a driver who is or has recently learned will do a write up for Dyspraxia and Life magazine and this forum

I passed in 1966 - there was not a seperate theory test then!

Hi Ricardo, good to see this community - i'm a newbie too Hi Andrew, Thanks for your story. I was diagnosed a few years ago whilst studying a masters degree - I was 42. It really hit me hard. I thought maybe that was why I've never found the right person, but reading your story, and looking at my o...

I hope that you are involved with the Dyspraxia and Life Magazine and maybe also a memeber of The dyspraxia Foundation - to be more involved. I mostly stay on the sidelines myself now - but was active at one time. Also remember to to subscribe to messages and and threads to get emails telling you wh...
