Firstly Welcome to the Forum.

I'd say yes give it another go. Sounds like you're almost there.

Welcome Tom Sometimes I wish we had a like option, but anyway. Not actually ever thought of this. If I'm following a recipe I not always that good at paying all that much attention to the steps and for a lot of my cooking from scratch I cook stuff I'm familiar with so chilli con carne/pasta bolognes...

Please seek debt advice and support.

Plenty of people fall into this trap as lenders want you to take up their offers so you're paying them. The cost of Living hasn't helped.

Hi everyone, My name is Cuthbert and I'm 31 years old. I'm a bit depressed because I have not worked for most of my adult life and don't have a driver's license. Its about time I started out in life. If anyone can help, please message me. Thanks. Hi Cuthbert Welcome to your Tribe Being dyspraxic/ne...

Hi HFS Welcome It definitely takes some adjustment especially if you only learned later. I was also mid 30s when I learned (back in 2011) that I was dyspraxic. I was v used to doing stuff the hard way and not ever wanting (or daring) to ask for help as well as being way too hard on myself. We can de...

Hi again Asti I believe PATOSS maintain a list of specialist teachers who can assess for specific learning difficulties (SPLDs). I can understand why your mind might be set on the idea that only a medical doctor can confirm. However, I think that traps too many in a spiral of frustration and disappo...

Thanks Tom The physiotherapist is referring me for exercises to help with balance and coordination, which should be really good. Do you think it would be worth going back to my GP for a referral to an OT? Or, should I go privately for an assessment? It's not essential I find out for sure. I'm happy...

Hi Sorry not to be welcoming you in better circumstances.

You could also write to your NHS Trust's ICB and/or complain to your MP. Regrettably the NHS ...

While I don't drive myself (too visually impaired) I definitely look at YouTube if I need info on how to approach a problem.

Hi Every dyspraxic is an individual and there could be numerous reasons. These might include a fear of doing things badly or wrong because with others it has spiralled into conflict further decreasing his self-esteem and willingness to try. For example at home no one gave him opportunity to learn ho...

Hi, can I ask whether this was in the UK? My Dr wondered about an OT but decided to refer me to a physiotherapist in the end. My appointment is this Thursday!!! Hi Asti Yes it was a UK member posting. Some OTs can confirm Dyspraxia or provide a report for another Medical professional to rubber stam...

I can't claim to have dyspraxia, but I do understand how challenging it can be when stress messes with your focus and even your physical coordination. Plenty of people discover and/or have good cause to believe they might but struggle to get professional confirmation as provision is largely not the...
