Dyspraxic Adults

While I don't let myself be ruled by anxiety, I can definitely relate with avoiding things because it makes me anxious (if that makes sense.) For example, I have IBS(D) and simply going out can be a real hassle. I can somewhat predict my bowel movements, sure, but that doesn't mean I don't have a wh...

I had several similar issues when I was around his age (and I still do to an extent.) First off, alarms. For any daily activity, setting an alarm on his phone with a reminder is a good way to get him to start and stick to a routine. I frequently forgot to brush, and because I didn't enjoy it in the ...

Like many others here, I spent a time dealing with depression. Something that helped me was advice from my therapist - he told me that I should always assess the intelligence of the people around me. Not for malicious reasons, of course, but rather to put into perspective the things they do or say, ...

I felt like I couldn't do any job for the longest time. I think the best option for some of us is to find a way to be self employed. It might be terrifying, going it alone, but we make our own hours and expectations that way. I'm working on becoming an author for those very reasons - I'm good at it,...

I personally had some issues when I started to date. I was slow to catch up emotionally, so I made some mistakes - other girls flirted with me and I was totally oblivious until my girlfriend blew up about it, as one example. It was a steep learning curve, but we both got through it because we loved ...

As far as I can remember, I had to have the teacher check the work I'd done, and everything I did for the day was stored on it. I don't remember if it had enough memory for multiple days, but I suspect it wasn't capable of much. As for the year, it was 2001 or 2002. I have no idea if it was consider...

I don't have a clear memory of how it looked, but I'm fairly sure it looked very similar to this: https://live.staticflickr.com/3040/2963916703_4b9411ef81_b.jpg Took a few minutes to find that on Google, and I don't know if the brand/model are the same, but it's certainly very close. It took a littl...

You certainly sound like you are among your peers here. I myself have little difficulty (as an adult) throwing and catching balls, yet when I have to sign my name, I physically cannot sign it the same way twice (meaning my signature is just my name in large letters.) Just because you feel like you c...

Hi, it's a pleasure to meet you all. I always find it awkward to introduce myself. I'm not great in social situations, and worse, since I have started writing full time in hopes of being an author, I second guess myself and tend to get stuck in my own head instead of just saying what I mean. I strug...
