Aid to anxiety
Hi Everyone, I have struggled for years with dyspraxia. I was diagnosed when I was 23 but never had any help or support. I've only just got to grips with all the fiendish issues that affect my daily life. I found that even though I have got better at doing things, through sheer bloody-minded ...

Re: Not very dyspraxic talents

Re: Manager with Dyspraxia
Hi Ash, I'm self-employed but I run my own business and manage a small number of people. I too struggle on a daily basis with forgetting things. The best tool I've found for helping me is a business calendar app and note taking app. I have to be firm with myself and take down a note every single ...
