Dyspraxic Adults

My hand writing does'nt tend to get bigger or smaller but it does deteriorate especially in pressure situations, I think its cos of my poor motor control and the fact that I cant concentrate on controlling my hands under pressure.

Thanks for that, Ill see if I can find any friends or relatives who are willing to give me a shot at driving their car.
I can only hope my driving in instructor is as calm as your sisters boy friend .

Hello all, I've decided that 2014 is going to be the year where I finally try and learn to drive (I think its high time at 30 even if I'm not looking forward to it :) ). I have poor spatial awareness and fine motor control so I'm kinda terrified at the prospect but I've gotta give it a go, I've had ...

Id ask at the disability support unit of the uni(s) you want to go to , now you have an official diagnosis you should be able to get provisions put in place to help you through and they maybe able to make grade allowances because of your disability, obviously they cant change your grade but they may...

Hi Katie, Your not dumb you just learn and think differently to other people and that's not necessarily a bad thing. If other people cant understand that then its their issue not yours, the way I see it is this; the only true idiot is some one who doesn't want to learn not some who finds it difficul...

Hi all,

I don't get the chance to visit as much as I used to so while I'm on I just thought I'd wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and successful new year.

Yeah, I often find my self loosing sleep over some relatively minor comment I've made or incident I may have been part of 999 times out of 1000 it will end up being nothing but that doesn't stop you worrying about it.

As far as I know dyspraxic is not a degenerative condition although your reactions do slow as you get older anyway, you may be experiencing the the cumulative effects of both. Are you particularly tired/stressed at the mo ? Because I'm very similar to what you your describing when I'm under pressure...

Yeah I tend to be come tired very easily, think it is a creative has said because things just tend to need more effort on our part than for non dyspraxics, in my case I don't sleep much either which doesn't help.

I certainly think being dyspraxic make you more prone to being anxious (I know it does with me). Like the others have mentioned I think a lot of it is to do with the fact that or condition means we have to deal with the world slightly differently than most and this can some times make us feel like w...

I know the feeling your definitely not on your own we all feel like this sometimes but all you can do is keep plugging on things will improve .
Maybe talking about it would help ? what is it that's getting you down ? or is it just life in general?

I have a BSc in Software Engineering and Computer Science if that counts ?

Well done .

I'm try to walk a lot more at the mo which does seem to be helping a bit also I've just got a new mattress for my bed which has made a difference.
I may have to get a copy of one of the books joy mentioned and give it a go it cant hurt.

I slept okay, but I'd wake up after a couple of hours after dreaming about work. Yup, I do that a lot, I think it made worse by the fact that I'm still on three month probation (not cos I've messed up its just standard policy) so I'm even more stressed because until that's up they have the right to...
