Dyspraxic Adults

It's expensive for me in that I go to the supermarket to buy, say bread, and come out without it, but with loads of other stuff. When I do go back to buy the bread I find I buy lots of other stuff, though I am trying to be stricter.

I agree, it is a valuable resource.

I would have a quiet word with someone dealing with your placement and let them know. If you are doing well in other aspects of the job this will help even out the balance with the aspects you struggle with. I had a similar situation at work, but I had 8 people standing watching me and waiting for t...

I love reading. I have been off sick recently and have read loads. I wore glasses from an early age so I was never going to be sporty..Perhaps thats why I read so much.

Congratulations. 4th time for me

Sorry I can't help, I was diagnosed in my 40s. I know though that it would have helped me to have been diagnosed much younger, then support could have been put in place. Now that you know, you can help, that's what matters.

I can only speak for me...I was a uni student and have gone back and am studying counselling. I developed my own shorthand which no one else could read. But even now, I find myself writing so much in lectures etc that I am not taking it in, I find though, that writing what is being said helps keep m...

I think you should have a quiet word with him and let him know, apart from anything else, that you have to take notes.It would be a shame if he had a bad impression of you, you might lose further contracts with them. Although he does sound a bit of a knob...

If I am tired it seems to make my dyspraxia worse. I get clumsier and can't take in information.

The kerbs in the dtreet where I work are all different heights. i was sashaying up the road, carrying a coffee, caught my toe on the kerb, fell and broke my elbow.

It also doesn't help when you don't read ther instructions! I'd rather just try to work the bloody thing!
