Dyspraxic Adults

Hi Simon

Firstly welcome to the Forum.Is it a case of you having to note things down that you or others struggle to read or is it report writing.
Have you formally avowed your dyspraxia/asked about them making some adjustments to potentially help?

Hi Alex Definitely not for me to say you're 'only mildly affected' and/or 'moaning over nothing'. They don't really seem to grade dyspraxia, except perhaps at initial assessment when they're looking at what percentile you're in for this or that. The intent with that I believe is to determine a start...

Som people have other co-occurring health conditions like EDS. For others it could be the inevitable effect of aging and/or consequence of poor posture.

Speak to a doctor about your pain and better managing it.

Hi J Welcome to the Forum It's a lot less busy now there are groups on Social Media but def still has a place and we don't have bots deciding your post has contravened Community Standards, whatever they are. I didn't learn till I was 36. Maybe they thought I'd give up or they didn't know how to expl...

Hi Asti I honestly can't remember if anything was said about when I met certain development milestones or how late I was doing them. It's entirely natural upon learning we're dyspraxic to want to go back and wonder and reassess our earlier lives. Dyspraxia presents differently in different people so...

Firstly Welcome to the Forum.

I'd say yes give it another go. Sounds like you're almost there.

Welcome Tom Sometimes I wish we had a like option, but anyway. Not actually ever thought of this. If I'm following a recipe I not always that good at paying all that much attention to the steps and for a lot of my cooking from scratch I cook stuff I'm familiar with so chilli con carne/pasta bolognes...

Hello, It might be helpful to explore different strategies for managing your energy more effectively. Sometimes, simple adjustments in your daily routine or stress management techniques can make a big difference. Speaking of energy management, some people have shared their experiences with methods ...

Please seek debt advice and support.

Plenty of people fall into this trap as lenders want you to take up their offers so you're paying them. The cost of Living hasn't helped.

Hi everyone, My name is Cuthbert and I'm 31 years old. I'm a bit depressed because I have not worked for most of my adult life and don't have a driver's license. Its about time I started out in life. If anyone can help, please message me. Thanks. Hi Cuthbert Welcome to your Tribe Being dyspraxic/ne...

Hi HFS Welcome It definitely takes some adjustment especially if you only learned later. I was also mid 30s when I learned (back in 2011) that I was dyspraxic. I was v used to doing stuff the hard way and not ever wanting (or daring) to ask for help as well as being way too hard on myself. We can de...

Hi again Asti I believe PATOSS maintain a list of specialist teachers who can assess for specific learning difficulties (SPLDs). I can understand why your mind might be set on the idea that only a medical doctor can confirm. However, I think that traps too many in a spiral of frustration and disappo...

Thanks Tom The physiotherapist is referring me for exercises to help with balance and coordination, which should be really good. Do you think it would be worth going back to my GP for a referral to an OT? Or, should I go privately for an assessment? It's not essential I find out for sure. I'm happy...
