Dyspraxic Adults

In addition to ego strength, (and catalyzed by it) there can come tremendous anxiety as a result of feeling super focused, pushing yourself too hard, being taunted and just having a ****ing hard time coping. It's worth considering that the problems with cognitive focus you're having could be seconda...

I can also related with this. Growing up I was constantly encouraged by my mother to aim low despite my high intelligence. My grade 10 English teacher saw that I had a creative intelligence for English and demanded I take university courses. It was the one sliver of academic support in a decade whic...

Welcome to the forum friend. I also was made fun of growing up for my dyspraxia (it could have been worse.) I also enjoy creative pursuits to cope with dyspraxia. Unfortunately I've been pretty depressed and that's been soaking up a lot of my will power and creativity.

Yes stress, exhaustion and stimuli can do it. But this kind of flare-up is especially obvious in the morning. I notice it "all things being equal." If I'm tired I'm angry. If I'm stressed I'm reactive. If I'm depressed I'm mopey. If I'm sensory overwhelmed well, I get more dyspraxic for su...

Does anyone else experience their dyspraxia with flare-ups? I never don't have dyspraxia. But some days I can tell upon waking are clearer and easier than others. On others I can tell subjectively something is wrong... Then I'm bumping into and dropping things all day, gapping out and incapable of h...

It took a lot of time. During the bridge period between my "I can't get it together to write anything" phase and my "wow I just finished my book" phase it was like 4 years. You can take a look at my book and much of my unfinished work here: https://independent.academia.edu/Spence...

An author I liked pursued a degree in computer programming in the 90s. He talks about it 20 years later as being about as useful to the field as an aerospace degree from the 70s is to the current field. I always liked computers but I'm glad I didn't pursue a career in programming. I've performed som...

You know how often I've apologised for the slow response? Sounds like a symptom of dyspraxia. I appreciate the welcoming and I'm happy to be around people who have some common grounds with my experience.

As a result of my dyspraxia, I've always marginalized myself for the sake of other people. But owing to the sense of alienation that produces I've also rebelled and sometimes tried to pursue lifestyles that are quintessentially me. But one thing I've never done is tried to settle on what it is I nee...

Phobia is a strong word, this isn't technically a phobia, but I am having a tension right now because of work. I've always been able to get a job. I've got a natural charisma and I had a philosophical work ethic based upon certain studies that landed me numerous jobs. But while I've always been lika...

Hello there all, Long rant as hey, I've had almost no dyspraxic peers with which I could share this, I wanted to find a community of dyspraxic folk like myself. I was diagnosed with "sensory integration disorder" when I was younger. I didn't really understand the disorder at all, assuming ...

I can throw in here that I am a self-published author. It took a few years to write the book. I also have four unfinished manuscripts, with the closest to completion being 80% complete. So, here's the trick... When I was younger I had lots of ideas for fiction stories. I ended up writing 100-150 poe...

Hello there. I'm new here and this is my first post. But I'm willing to participate in this.
