Dyspraxic Adults

Hi Dargx, First of I'm not a parent my self however I can understand your anxieties, I get the impression you see Dyspraxia as some kind of sentence that's been passed on your daughter it really not. I was also diagnosed with Dyspraxia (although a little older about 12) and I also have Cerbral Palsy...

Hi Tanv, I'd always say give it a go (which you may well have by now :) ) what's the worst that could happen? you don't get the job and you've lost nothing (not that I'm saying you wont get it) or you may get it and love it but if you don't try you'll never know. I agree with Ram that you should tel...

Yeah its kind of ironic really .

I was recently assessed and diagnosed with dyspraxia through my university this year, during the assessment the assessor told me my reading and vocabulary were a "high average" and that I wasn't dyslexic, but on the final report she noted down dyspraxia and dyslexia. To this day I'm stll ...

Oh its nice that someone thinks I'm worth the attention I just kinda wish one or two of them could maybe be women once in a while (who arnt tippsy).

Ironically this type of confusion and mixing up of words in some quarters might be construed to be a 'dyspraxic thing' Yup that is quite ironic really, funny in a way :) . Dont get me wrong I can see why a lot of people get confused if they have'nt come across it before its the people that have bee...

Hi All, Just thought id get your opinion, to day I had my catch-up with my boss at work, its a kind of monthly one to one with my boss chance to just to have an informal chat with your boss about how your jobs going. All was going fine until we somehow got on to the subject of how one of his family ...

Nice ! Well done .

Actually I kind of get the opposite, I'm straight but on a number of occasions I've been either "hit on" by guys or people have just assumed it. I've no idea why I've asked both straight and gay friends and acquaintances if I'm particularly camp (since I'm not to good with the whole body l...

Hi, You certainly came to the right place to talk to dyspraxics, this place is full of em' :P . I'm a 33 year old code monkey diagnosed with dyspraxia at about 11 also have mild diplegic cerebral palsy and have been through the usual gamut of stuff us dyspraxics have to deal with, feel free to messa...

For me its needles really hate them any thing to do with things being stuck into skin makes me feel a sick always been the same dunno why.
Dunno if this counts but I also hate having my picture taken always makes me feel very nervous.

Yeah I tended to have the same issue so I went to the uni disability support unit and asked what else could be done and they allowed me type my answers on a PC which helped a lot, plus no more horrible hand cramps it may be worth asking if its possible ? Also just tried to use good exam technique i....

Hi Tom,

Thanks its good to know someone sort of gets where I'm coming from, atm I just feel a little like I'm being steam rollered by events into a dammed if I do and dammed if I don't kind of situation, still hopefully I'll be able to see things a little clearer when they've calmed down.

Hi All, Sorry if this sounds like a bit of an incoherent rant but its 1:30 am and I feel like I could really do with getting something of my chest to people who may understand. :) Well, at the moment i'm kinda going through a bad time everything seems to be hitting at once, I'm about to buy a house ...

Yup me too I've been a member for a couple of years now, but like Tom says it seems to be very child focused, lots of support groups for moms with dyspraxic kids etc. but nothing for adults, seems like once you get past about 18 your on your own .
