Re: Is it really worth confirming I have dyspraxia?
I'm as certain as can be I'm dyspraxic. The pdoc who saw me last year did a hand test, and after it said I'm quite dyspraxic. My sister has said she thinks I'm dyspraxic . The report I got confirming my Asperger's dx also mentioned dyspraxia. At 62 it's hard to tell what would be gained from an offi...

Re: Is it just me or . . .
For me 'learning disability ' in the UK suggests people with an IQ <70. Unless they've decided to start using the USA definition of 'learning disability' .

Re: Did anyone see the derogatory story about a teacher with Dyspraxia who lost his employment Tribunal
I posted about this on a schizophrenia forum I'm a member of. There's a glossing over of the inaccuracy of the newspaper reporting as though it's no big deal.

It seems to me some people need to educate themselves about dyspraxia.

Felt such a prat
Felt such a prat. Just had mental health check including BP and weight. Stepped on scales which are only a little off the ground and lost my balance. My granddaughter who was with me had to steady me before I could be weighed.

Re: ASD and dyspraxia- how much are they related?
He's a speech pathologist not an expert on dyspraxia , and therefore maybe less qualified to talk about the subject than any of us who experience this.

ASD and dyspraxia- how much are they related?
This is a question I posed on Quora to see what responses there were. https://www.quora.com/Can-dyspraxia-make-it-difficult-for-you-to-organise-your-thoughts To quote the second person that replied : No. There’s been a lot of BS floating around the Internet to the effect that dyspraxia is a learning...

I failed Maths O level first time. I was ok at arithmetic and algebra, but abysmal at geometry. I could never get the hang of trigonometry.

I had caught my arm on the oven shelf and it hurt but I'd not thought much of it .The carer saw it too when she came yesterday and said I should put some cream on it so I put some S...
