Re: Becoming an Adult & Separating from your Parents

I personally done it when I was 18 as such living in halls of residence, then as soon as I finished my course I went back home for a month, before things got extremely heated and words said that shouldn't from a parent to a son/daughter. and not taking no as an answer. so left me little/no choice in...

Re: Recommend Driving School West London?

personally I think less urban might do you better, with less pedestrians, and bikes to watch out for. but will also find the instructor got to be on his game, because less pedestrians, also means the highway code goes out the window straight after learning to drive safely, and passing their driving ...

Re: Hi, I just discovered this place. Figured I'd let people know about my issues with dyspraxia

Welcome to the forum Robert, yes not being able to drive can limit the types of jobs you can do, personally can't see why apart from maybe more likely to be on time than with public transport. I don't know if you could turn it to your advantage somehow. as not every job requires you to drive, look a...

Re: Husband with Dyspraxia?

Hi LJ1988, "how can I support him if he is dyspraxic?" this depends totally on his condition, but there needs to be open communication between the two of you. but I also know it is hard as a dyspraxic, because until you do the thing that you struggle with most, and the other person noticin...

Re: Dismissed from work - could dyspraxia be affecting my performance?

my personal take on it is it could be a Dyspraxic and/or Dyslexic thing, dyspraxic for not doing something like seeing, remembering to clean a cup that you have/haven't seen. maybe a bit of both for the 2nd job, as in getting a caller to spell their name, it is your way of making sure you get the me...

Re: Driving in a foreign country?

personally I wouldn't suggest that you do, especially if it is your first time to the area, public transport for a couple of holidays or weeks would be a better idea. just until you know what other drivers are like on the roads, and also reading the road ahead. If you do drive I would reccomend it o...

Re: Driving

passed my driving test back in 1994, and that was first time with a manual car, but recently bought an automatic, as my knees are too bad to drive a manual car more than I have to which is only local. if the motorway was clear and plain sailing I was fine with a manual car, but having to constantly ...
