Dyspraxic Adults

I'm always leave jobs half done (I like to TRY to help my boyfriend out at his flat when I stay over) and he has to ask me if I've forgotten anything, a sort of gentle reminder, at which point I have to apologise and go back to whatever it was I was doing before my mind wandered :S It's no big deal,...

Hi all :) I was once introduced to someone as; 'Amy is also known as the dozey one, but you always know where you stand with her' Sums me up to a tee basically! :D Yeah I am the first to admit, I can be a little 'lights are on, but no one is home' at times, absent minded, forgetful, in a world of my...

HI Semper, I hope that this reply, finds you well :) First of all, a very big 'Welcome' to the forum! :D You say you are not from the United Kingdom, where is home for you, If I might be so bold as to enquire? :) I put myself down, a lot. It sounds as though you do too :( Although, in reading your p...

Thanks for your reply Alleycat

Interesting, that gives me some idea of what to expect!

I am sure this sounds ridiculous but I lose my patience with inanimate objects, a lot :S Coat hangers are the worst without a doubt, when clothes fall off?? My electric toothbrush never stands up in the bathroom cupboard and when I lay it down it rolls out and on the floor... Generally when an objec...

Hi Hoppingmouse, hope you are well :) I went to my GP around this time last year when I was living in Portsmouth, as was referred to an OT. I had an initial assessment over the phone and was waiting a call back to arrange another, face to face, I believe.... In the mean time, my job and relationship...

Hiya Wayward, hope this message finds you well :) I too am in retail, working for a well known supermarket chain and I have done for 7 years now, a huge achievement for me, as I had previously bounced from one job to the next since I was 16... holding down a job was hard. I s'pose I have just learnt...

Hi Moot, I hope this very delayed reply finds you well? :) I have moved back in with my mum in West Sussex after the job (and the engagement) wasn't really working for me :| but I consider myself very lucky, got my old job back and have such a fantastic support network around me again now, am much h...

Moo, lol @ your double post! :P I'm not too bothered about not being able to ride a bike, I live within short walking distance to work so thats' ok and as for a skipping rope... it's hardly a need-to-know! Lol! However, I am considering taking up driving lessons again, perhaps in an automatic this t...

Thank you :) since posting that I now have a OT and have had an initial assesment over the phone and they have said they will take on my case, I am now on a waiting list... in the mean time I have requested a letter from my GP to back up everything that I have told work, in the hope that this will g...

Hi missmalibu here, im 29 (female if you didnt notice the 'miss'!) i have known about my dyspraxia for a long time, and cope quite well with it on a day to day basis as i know what my limits are. My main problem is my social anxiety, and i really struggle to start (and indeed continue) a conversati...

Hi Ben, I am Sandy Female 36 nearly 37. I found out 6 months ago that I may be Dyspraxic. My Mum always Said I had clumsy child Sydrome. I have since asked acouple of people what that means.

Hey Ben stuggling is a word I use often too! Lol! I hope you're struggling less now and finding out more!

Hi everyone, hope you are all well :) A little bit about me; I went to my GP just 3 days ago after starting a new role within a new store (I have recently moved to Portsmouth, from Littlehampton, to build a future with my fiance) have been really struggling to cope, after nearly 2 months, decided to...
