Re: College Anxiety
Phillip, I had a very similar experience many years ago in the summer semester of an advanced placement graduate program in the US. The students as well as on e of the professors bullied me. I dropped out after the summer because I couldn't take any more. A few years late I continued where I left of...

Re: How do I talk to doctor
I don't know what it's like in the UK, but I don't think the drs. in the US would even care. I was told , "well it's a little too late to be worried about it now," by an insensitive p**** of a psychiatrist. I felt such a prat. (just learned that expression) Definitely, bring someone with y...

Re: Finding a job
My mom has told me from a young age that I've been a burden and she wished I wasn't born because I trapped her here in South Africa................. I got offered a job like yesterday travelling and creating curriculums for schools world wide and it seems like an amazing opportunity so I'm thinking...

Re: Finding a job
Hi Lila, I don't drive either, and I used to have the same arguments with my sister. She used to harass me about being a waiter? "Why can't you just be a waiter?" "Why can't you just be a bartender?" It's maddening to have to try to explain that to someone who is not dyspraxic. ...

Re: Felt such a prat
Not sure what 'prat' means, but it's obviously not a good thing. I also have terrible balance and have embarrassed myself frequently because of it

Re: Lost in Dyspraxia
Well, I can totally relate to your post. Last year I took a part time job which went south real fast. I had tremendous difficulty navigating the computer system and it took me way longer than it should have to attempt to complete the documentation on the computer system. I'm 63 and when I first ente...

Re: First aid training
Best of Luck to you . I know how difficult that can be. Daunting, and anxiety provoking.

Re: explaining dyspraxia to family or not?
Presumably I live on the same planet as you do. It is indeed extremely unlikely to begin a medical career in your 60/70s. But my point stands, it’s not unheard of people to occupy themselves with new studies after their retirement. Sometimes, not often perhaps some get to utilise those new gain ski...

Re: explaining dyspraxia to family or not?
I'm already aware of this. No new career should be embarked upon in your mid 60's. That's my point. How do you explain dyspraxia to a family who doesn't understand something that simple, that basic????? Yet some people do and succeed. Your point may be correct for you... it may not be for everyone....

it's been years but the only thing I can tell you is repetition, practice the same thing over and over

Re: explaining dyspraxia to family or not?
yeah, but I don't. I consider it to be ridiculous. Who embarks upon a new career at age 63? so, if they don't get something as simple as this, how could they get something far more complex?
