Dyspraxic Adults

Thanks Tom for your kind response.
You are completely right in what you say. It is hard but it is a battle which we all face. At least there are forums like this which enable us to chat with others.

Hi all, I have been feeling a bit down in myself recently and would love to know anyone experiences the same or has issues. Allow me to explain. I am in my mid-30s, still live at home with my parents and generally looked down upon by family and wider Social group. I am hopeless at getting a ...

I am so glad to have come across this thread. For many years I have suffered from high levels of anxiety and never really known why. Even though I was diagnosed back at the age of 4 with Dyspraxia, I was never told about how it was connected to my high anxiety. Discovering so was a huge relief for ...

Hope my answer does not reach you too late. First off, I am sorry to hear what has happened – you certainly don’t deserve to have what happened to you happen.

Mind you this is the first time that I have heard of a part time job requiring more than one interview. :banana: Seriously however, i assume (without being offensive) that you don't have much expendible cash. In this case, paying a large sum of ...

Hello and welcome to the group from a fellow newbie to this forum as well. I read your post with interest as in many ways it is similar to my story. Though I received my diagnosis when I was 4, I did have difficulties with speech and movement when growing up. I look forward as well to answering any ...

Is it worth confirming you have Dyspraxia? A good question and one which I cannot really answer for you as your circumstances are most certainly going to be unique to you. But I can weigh up the pros and cons of getting your Dyspraxia confirmed or not as I see it. First off, a plus for getting a ...

Sorry to be a bit late with this response but hope I can still be of some help. Anyhow when I get overwhelmed, I tend to find the best approach is to chunk things down into smaller steps and focus on only one step at a time until it is complete. I recently learnt how scientifically speaking, there ...
