Dyspraxic Adults

I think anyone would be exhausted after standing on their feet for 8 hrs. a day, don't you? Maybe your being too hard on yourself. Dyspraxic or not, you're only human.

I confess I know nothing about this except that I have very bad coordination with my left hand. Can't use a blood pressure cuff because of it. Is this the kind of thing you might be talking about or have I totally missed the mark?

I have low muscle tone and have had back surgery for it. I've always had low muscle tone, I heard it's a dyspraxic thing, because we generally are not as athletic as some people because of muscle coordination, eye hand coordination, and balance issues. I've read a few medical journal articles (Ameri...

Last year, I started working again after a year's sabbatical to deal with health issues resulting from a surgical procedure that left me anemic, and even more fatigued than I normally am. I decided to take a job at an LGBT community center whose computer documentation system is quite complicated due...

I've always struggled with this, and actually lost a very good friend some years ago because I don't drive. They straight up asked me, "why is it that I'm always the one who has to do all of the driving?" At the time I didn't even know what dyspraxia was so I really didn't feel confident t...

Stress, exhaustion, multiple stimuli depletes everyone's cognitive ability. For those of us who are already challenged, our symptoms simply become more blatant.

You should probably consider career counseling. There are also some good books you can read such as "I Could Do Anything If Only I knew What It Was" by Barbara Sherr. She is an out-of-the box career counselor. I don't know about the book's availability in the UK however, you might have to ...

yes, I have that exact same problem. I can't blame it on my age, because I've always been this way. They say exercise boosts your energy levels but I'm too tired to exercise.

Yes, read about this via Dyspraxia&Life. The news articles make for an exasperating read and are another example of shoddy journalism from people who should know better. I know a complaint is being lodged: it will be interesting to see the outcome. It's important that things like this are picke...

I've been struggling with the same question myself for the past 18 mos. Besides dyspraxia, I have physical disabilities including diabetes which makes work even harder since ever changing blood sugar levels ( exacerbated by stress) makes all of my dyspraxic symptoms even worse with regard to memory ...

I'm so sorry you're going through all of this. Take care of yourself. I wish you well. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help

Invisible, It really sound as though you've been traumatized by having failed at previous endeavors. My guess is that most of us, if not all of us, have been traumatized by our failures in life. I know I have. The response in trauma is flight, fight, or freeze. I know that sometimes when I encounter...

Welcome! I did not know that I was dyspraxic growing up. But then again, I'm in my 60's, and I don't even know if they knew what it was back then.
