Dyspraxic Adults

Since i got a formal diagnosis of dyspraxia a few months ago, and have a place on a pgce for september, i have applied for dsa support this time. (Didn't apply for my degree). The main thing i was thinking i'd need would be some sort of study skills type help for essay writing. ( i picked a maths de...

The buses in liverpool went on strike a week or so ago. (well not all of them - just arriva ones (the only company my bus pass allows me to use), and i think just ones from a certain depot (the only ones i use)). No-one knew they were going on strike, and i (along with a lot of other people i imagin...

my friends joke that i can even trip over thin air sometimes!

I've been diagnosed yes. It first came up during primary school that i might have a problem due to my writing/co-ordination/etc, but since i was a bright kid nothing was ever done about it, since i "couldn't possibly have a problem if i was clever". Became more apparent as i went through s...

I absolutely hate ringing people. especially my friends/family/people i know generally. I used to have the same fear of ringing companies/people i dont know too, but i have got over that by thinking "they dont know me. i dont know them. So i don't care what they think of me when i'm attempting ...

Hi I got the report back from my formal assessment today. It went through all the different tests with a bit on how i did on each one, and said what specific areas all of my problems are in. The diagnosis 'dyspraxia' was not used but neither were any others. It just said that i do have specific lear...

congrats sheppeyescapee and lady fluff. good luck with getting yours liz

I got my exam results this weekend for the first semester. Even though they were much lower than i wanted to get, (i was aiming for a 70 ish as i got in 1st and 2nd yr), but the exams did not go well and i was convinced i'd failed everything. So my results were actually miles better than i expected ...

auron. maybe its because you didnt put a space between the words when you googled it.

.....When you get lost in uni, ending up in the wrong department, and then get confused as to why the room you're looking for isn't in there..... Wouldnt have been so bad if it wasn't for the 200 kids following me. (It was at work). I was supposed to (along with another person who didn't turn up), t...
