Dyspraxic Adults

I also lived in Aberystwyth, Wales, for almost a year. Good fun, beautiful place and country.

England used to own Brittany, hence the name.

I am also good at facts about general history and politics. I am currently in a quiz team with my friends, and for the past couple of weeks, I have been carrying the team by answering the most obscure questions, and my answers have been right and the other members of the team overruled me due to th...

I have a terrible memory, especially for lyrics in songs. It sucks, because I love music but can never sing along properly.

Someone wrote:Hey. Does anyone have any advice on how to study and listen in school? I cant listen in school at all. I just start thinking about something else.

You may have ADHD. It is commonly comorbid with Dyspraxia. It is worth speaking to a psychiatrist about that.

I really dislike the heat. I hate the feeling of my clothes sticking uncomfortably to my skin. I normally sleep with a window open, and I hate having the heating on, in my house, when I start complaining if someone has turned the heating on to a level that I feel uncomfortable with. I have pretty l...

I mean, they're a nightmare generally, due to being so small, but it will be worse for Dyspraxic people. It's one of the reasons I got the Galaxy S8+, as it has a pretty big screen, so the keyboard is bigger. That might be an idea if you can afford it? You could also use text to speech?

There's a forum I go to where they have lots of post rating options like 'Agree', 'Disagree', 'Funny', 'Friendly', etc. but it is a rather popular forum so it doesn't detract from the quality/quantity of posts as much as I imagine it would here. That forum runs on vBulletin, not PHPbb though. Also, ...

I've never heard of Lyrica being used for anything other than fibromyalgia, and those that have used all tell me it causes weight gain, and has other adverse side effects. Any truth to this? Lyrica is also useful for neuropathic pain (which is why I take it.) It's an SNRI, so possibly has minor ant...

Good for you! I don't really understand how any professional company could ever conduct themselves that way, especially a few months later.

Sounds interesting to me. I know a lot of people use Discord, although I haven't yet. I'm a bit old school in terms of Internet culture, so I remember Teamspeak, Ventrilo and stuff like that for microphone stuff. Still, Discord does seem preferred these days. You probably won't get replies here supe...

Sensory Integration Dysfunction is really common in Dyspraxics and people on the ASD spectrum. It's not necessarily the same for everyone, but yeah, hot things are more uncomfortable for me than others. The worst thing for me personally is wet hair and bar soap though. Eww, just thinking about it is...

Modafinil was originally used by the US Air Force to allow pilots to work longer shifts if needed, I think. I've tried it before, and it is useful as a stimulant because it is not euphoric in any way, meaning that it doesn't give way to abuse over time. I didn't personally like it very much as it ma...

Obviously my reply is super late and not really worthwhile for Starduster, but the whole thing where the code would just be done and would be handed in is a pretty classic side effect of ADHD medications. They're stimulants, just like 'speed', and Dexedrine is speed without the levo isomer, so it ca...

I really struggled with it, but probably learnt at about 10 years old, as I was going to secondary school. The trick that really helped me was doing the bunny ears method, as I think the symmetry of the two laces in that version of tying them made it easier for me to get the motions correct. Mine ac...

I am always enamoured with how women are able to put on makeup with such precision; there's no way I could do it, and I'd probably poke my eye out if I tried to. I imagine you're already diagnosed with Dyspraxia? If so, practise does indeed help, but progress is often really slow, and our skill ceil...
