Dyspraxic Adults

People always complain to me that I never fill the mug up full... Now I have never done this as I know when I transfer it to the person I will a) Spill it all over the carpet b) Spill it all over them. I have never really thought anything of it before until recently when I have been watching other ...

For Part 1 see http://www.dyspraxicadults.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6094 Day 8 Your bag Whether it's a handbag, man bag, briefcase or college/school bag. Dump out the entire contents and go through it, you'll be amazed what's lurking in the bottom. File away any receipts that need or w...

Yes I have, I mentioned it to the GP when I took in that checklist. As you're aware that was sent to the psychiatrist and during that session she mentioned neurology regarding my dyspraxia. She was going to send me letters which I didn't receive because they were not sent out. She told me this the o...

Hi everyone, I'd like to ask is it possible for dyspraxia to affect one body part more than the rest? The reason I am asking is because I am getting fed up with my right hand and fingers being so weak and not obeying my brains command. As I am playing my keyboard, my right fingers will not play at a...

Yes this sounds like me as well.

Since I was a kid I used to always see things and want them. Parents would say "the minute you see something you want it!" Which would result in an outburst and obviously getting punished. As I've got older I'm more or less the same, I see something and it's "I want". Sometimes I...

I would class myself as a dyspraxic who struggles with instant gratification. Amongst other traits, I need quick rewards. I feel my work life is so volatile sometimes that I seek quick rushes to keep me "level". I have issues with spending money. I will think nothing of spending £1000 on ...

Hello I am wondering if anyone else here experiences this? I find that I can't get comfortable in certain positions like others can. For example if I am trying to sleep I feel the pillow is digging into me? Or my body is very irritable from as little as catching my hair up? Or my body twisting and t...

I have hypocondraplasia and I have always been told either in a supportive or hostile manner "not to let it bother me" Even when I get discriminated,taunted, named called all the kind of stuff you can image for a woman of 4ft 6inch. I will get the moaning out of the way before the dyspraxi...

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...

also I am very sensitive to smells I once had a nurse say " youre sensitive to smells arent you?" Also smells cause sinus pain like one particular perfume I don't like.

I've always been hypersensitive to noise and smell and while I've heard that sensitivity to noise is not uncommon among dyspraxics I've never heard anyone mention sensitivity to odors. It's often very difficult for me to use public rest rooms, and I can't stand the smell of cigarettes. Yes I don't ...

I can relate to everything you say, and of course doctors have all kinds of medical diagnoses for why I am fatigued, all of which require expensive medications, like testosterone gel and iron pills which while not expensive but have all kinds of nasty side effects. The thing is I was always like th...

I have found for years i am severe ally disorganized, when I am motivated enough to attempt to tidy up the house or the bedroom I find I have just shoved things in random places. I have literally accumulated all sorts, from woman's things to screwed up pieces of paper, empty boxes of games,dvds, etc...
