Dyspraxic Adults

I am new to this website, and my dyspraxia and dyslexia diagnoses are less than a week old! Any advice anyone can give about adjusting to it all would be greatly appreciated. I am not really sure what to do now. I can identify so many things in my life that can be explained by dyspraxia which is a ...

I have this issue too. Have got better with time but I live in a busy city centre and I get really overwhelmed when surrounded by people and really irrationally angry at everyone! I certainly find that I can easily get overwhelmed in crowds - I think that I may have minor asperger's too - but I don...

Hey! That sounds like a really interesting project best of luck with it! I will look at the Web page when I'm off night shift! I am currently doing my masters degree so my entire life is pretty much dedicated to that. I am currently writing about cranial nerve involvement in emotion recognition in ...

Hey all. I thought I'd make a little thread to discuss projects we're working on at the moment, if any. I'm currently fiddling about with code for the first time in about 10 years to try and get something to show orbits of planets in the web browser, lol. Feel free to check it out if you'd like here...

I really struggled with it, but probably learnt at about 10 years old, as I was going to secondary school. The trick that really helped me was doing the bunny ears method, as I think the symmetry of the two laces in that version of tying them made it easier for me to get the motions correct. Mine a...

I would class myself as a dyspraxic who struggles with instant gratification. Amongst other traits, I need quick rewards. I feel my work life is so volatile sometimes that I seek quick rushes to keep me "level". I have issues with spending money. I will think nothing of spending £1000 on ...

One thing I would say you shouldn't do when teaching which words use ie and ei is that silly "I before e, except after c" phrase, as it's totally wrong. So many words don't conform to that standard such as 'weird' and many others. I don't think there's any trick to learning the ordering of...

My mum gets terrible migraines so is always wearing sunglasses where she works due to glare on the computer monitor, the same as you. I don't think there's any problem with doing so.

I visit the site every day as well. I don't think it's futile. If just a couple of people would agree to visit the site every day and contribute, I think this site could thrive. The weird part is that the Dyspraxic Teens site I went to as a kid was really popular, but now it's totally dead. I met l...

My negative thoughts often manifest themselves physically when I'm by myself, like I'll react in the same way I would had something really happened. Strange, that!

I'm quite an anxious duck too, but I wouldn't say that I need to get drunk to ask for stuff at the shops, at least. I think some counselling or CBT could be helpful for your anxiety? It's not much of a solution to get drunk every time you need something.

Me too, but I'm afraid there's not much one can do about these things. I was visiting every day at one point, but it became a little futile. :c

Could be that too, although that's as general as saying it is neurological, so I assumed the query was more granular.

Interesting. I always thought myself to be some kind of mutant considering I can endure much harder cold than anyone around (I can be lightly weared with only a short and a shirt during small rain and feel better than my friends while they're wearing heavy stuff and coats), but I also feel the heat...

Welcome to the site. I'm into creative writing, which is why I'm nearly finished my first novel, after doing so many drafts, I'm a perfectionist. A couple of mistakes or if something doesn't look right, then it can mean the whole of the story is started from the beginning. I have an online Canadian...
