Dyspraxic Adults

I've definitely improved significantly. I think it's a lot like how a stroke victim's brain rewires itself in order to adapt to deficiencies it has caused. Obviously it's not as serious in our case, but my writing has improved to a partially legible standard. Typing a great deal and playing piano ha...

That's so true. The internet does make it extremely difficult for us to discern the meaning of what is written. That leaves us so very vulnerable to projection. When I first read all of this commotion about a single word ( which was a very innocent incredulous response, not sarcastic) I was just li...

I definitely have similar struggles - in fact, I'd say that basically everything you listed here is, at the very least, endemic and fundamental to the Dyspraxic community and identity. I must admit that I'm not totally sure what you mean about difficulties with visual-spacial reasoning, but my assum...

Like a virtual private group chat where a number of people can chat live online together. Discord is like Skype in that it is a Voice over IP app and was set up/is used by the gamimg community. Could not have said it better myself. If people would like, I can setup a Discord server? If at least two...

Normally I just struggle with opening the bottle in the first instance, as I tend not to tighten things too much. :) See, that's very sensible! But if I don't tighten the pop bottle, the pop goes flat! Better that the pop goes flat than my hand becomes permanently flat due to me crushing it in the ...

Hello I am new to this forum. I was diagnosed with dyslexia and dyspraxia 5 years ago. Does anyone else’s dyspraxia get 10 x worse with nerves... I can’t stop falling over, banging in to things and forgetting everything at the moment, my head feels like a whirlwind. I am putting the stress down to ...

My 'tidying' and 'organisation' is pretty rubbish too. Like you, things end up on random shelves, in random drawers, wherever there's a space. And I also find that I've kept an unusual assortment of objects! Like a video cassette without a case... And a different case without the video! I kept an e...

Hi Tom, thanks for your reply! I could find the report from the assessment, but it's not easily to hand. Yeah, Irlens is very similar to Dyslexia in a lot of ways but apparently they also test for Dyspraxia now as well. From what I understand, most people with Irlens experience dyslexic and/or dysp...

Hi Mike I wasn't born till the mid 70s but have always had an interest in history. I guess a lot of concern back then was about the Russians and the Cubans and Nuclear annihilation. Suspect the average Russian was just as fearful that the US would launch a preemptive strike. I think WW2, Korea and ...

Not sure about neurodiversity specifically, but Vonnegut or Keller are my main go to guys regarding the eccentricities of the human mind. Thinking about it, you might enjoy A Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime if you've not already come across it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ksPDRSnh...

I've been told in the past that my tone of voice was wrong, too loud, too quiet, etc. I don't think it's just you! And I've ended up arguing with people before just because of a misinterpretation. Me too. It sounds a lot like you're suffering with Asperger's Syndrome in the case you describe there,...

Hey all. I was bored so I wrote a song a couple of days ago. My singing isn't very good and it's awkward to sing it, but what do ya think?

Yeah, I'm just going to say this now, I did excellently at college. Superbly. In fact, I got into the local newspaper I did so well at college. When I was at university, I wanted to either progress to further studies and become an academic/professor (I think that's a dream to put to bed now) or bec...

Wish I could think of more American words that could stimulate such controversy and back-and-forth witty responses. No, seriously for now on I'm going to check with the British consulate before I respond to any posts, LOL. Us British are extremely afraid of displaying our emotions up-front in any c...
