Dyspraxic Adults

restlessness is often mistaken for impatience, but it is not the same thing. the pure discomfort you describe is not the same as being impatient. There are some things and some people that I am sure you have all the patience in the world with and for but this decision making thing you can't stand. I...

Me too! Always push not pull and vice versa. I so love those doors that swing both ways!!!

A tad harsh indeed!

To be fair though Captain Ludd, I think most women would describe the majority, if not **ALL** men, dyspraxic or not as emotionally retarded!!!!

oooo, interesting subject! :) dreams are amazing things and I have always had very vivid ones, often with soundtracks! but never yet with subtitles!!! :) I also sometimes get to re-do dreams - the ones which are a bit like computer games - I manage to whizz through the first bits of the dreams secon...

not sure about the blobs - never happened to me. am drawn to various colours at various times though, but that is a little different. sensitivity to light affects many people - dyspraxic and not. Best advise is to wear sunglasses as much as poss when outside, as it tends to be sunlight that causes t...

Don't worry about what people think! Just enjoy your food - I know that is easier said than done! :) I love eating the middle eastern way where you just use your hands to eat everything - it is fun and although other people initially tend not to like it, they soon lighten up! :) especially if the fo...

Ditto. I do enjoy cuddling, but I HATE having my hair/head touched or stroked - the crown of my head is extremely sensitive! And the habit that men have of wanting put your hair behind your ears!!!! GRRRRRRR [-X really drives me crazy - if I wanted my hair tucked behind my ears I am more than capabl...

Agree, agree, agree! you are very lucky to have had such a positive and patient response! I hope that everyone else greets the news in the same way.

Hi Luke

Glad to hear that you are finding some support and help here. It has been a godsend to me! I am so grateful to everyone on here and the support that they give.

And incidently - I am also very impressed with Jim's idea for cutting and will try it myself!

Mine is awful too!!! But I can write 'properly' if I think carefully about every word - I need to write by hand as part of my job and so I have had to practise a lot. I think this like other things with dyspraxia are better some days and worse others. Some things we can develop coping methods for an...

It was the same for me when I started to learn more about dyspraxia and realize that that was what was behind so many things for me! It is just like a light bulb coming on! :) it's a great way to describe it. I completely understand about the hotel card...grrrr...can be so frustrating at times, espe...

I know I'm a girl - but thought I would add my thoughts anyway :D First, he is incredibly lucky, as Tom says, that you are willing to find out more about it and not to judge him for it. Second, my advice would be not to make it into an issue. So don't ask if certain things he does/can't do etc are p...

Hi Luke They seem perfectly normal for a dyspraxic. There are many things that set us apart in uniqueness and the ones you have mentioned some of us have, some of us don't and to a greater or lesser degree. That is what is so amazing about us - we all have different quirks that we experience to a mo...

Thank you so much for your support and reassurance that I wasn't completely out of order for being so upset about it. I have explained **soooooo** many times why and how I feel about it. He says that it makes him feel like a guest in his own house! But I don't mind if we talk it through and change t...

Sorry, really need to share this with people who understand... came home last night after long day working (started 830 and got home at 2220) to find that my partner had rearranged the whole bloody kitchen, without any warning, no text, no message, nothing. I spotted a tray had swapped to the other ...
