Dyspraxic Adults

I totally agree and feeling the same. But not sure how to improve on certain skills. An example: My friend always tells me: check you have all you stuff before you leave home or you leave your place. yesterday I had bought a new suitcase and I was carrying it with me when we get to a book shop. I st...

@ Osymandus: I know he is wrong. You know a lot about this and I've read other posts from you about it. The NHS website advises the same as you say. That's why I told GP that the NHS website says it has to be an occupational therapist and that's when he replied that he doesn't read it and anyway he ...

the guy who diagnosed me the dyslexia and wrote that further investigation for dyspraxia is justified, is an educational psychologist, but specialised in dyslexia and that's why he couldn't diagnose the dyspraxia (which he told me after I had paid for the £500). The NHS say that it should be an Occu...

Ok, this whole thing of the diagnosis is like a kind of joke: So, I went for my diagnosis in February, to a place called "Dyslexia action". I wasn't going for a dyslexia diagnosis, but the person that I talked to said that they could also identify toher learning difficulties. When I got my...

Ashtanga yoga also helps developing muscles on both sides. It also helps with balance. Though not sure both sides will always be at the same level (I am ambidextrous so I have same balance and I can move the same with both sides of my body, so haven't experienced what you say) but it will definitely...

OMG! I can't believe it's been a year since your last post. And I am sooooo sorry that's it's gone like that!? And we thought that a diagnosis would do miracles. Life is such a b****. Is there a possibility that you can go to a free legal adivese service? they tend to give very good advise. Is it to...

I'm pretty much undersensitive for everything. i do have my showers reaaaally hot.Peeple always say that I use boiling water. It takes me a while to notice temperature changes in rooms. Sometimes I feel frozen cold, though. but then sometimes people will say it's really cold (not just one person) an...

I love lists, because: 1. They help me organise my thoughts 2. I organise words in lists when I am learning new vocabulary in foreign languages, so I'm used to them. 3. I cannot learn with mind maps. I find them too messy and I don't know where to start looking at them. 4. They're very logical 5. Th...

@Placebo: don't want an apology from you. You believe what you believe and you have the right to think whatever you want, while you don't harm others and you are consistent between what you believe/you say and the way you live your life, don't you?. I thought here we were just giving our views on re...

this is a very interesting theological and theoretic debate, but do you really seriously these things happened? why not the Olympic gods? or the Teapot? or gods as an explanations to what we cannot give explanation to and/or we are scared or unsure of?

religiously atheist/humanist...and a veeeery pacient and commited teacher!

It took me 4 months to cry when my mum died. I seemed to be in a kind of anesthetic cloud, even hyper at the beginning. People seemed to find very strange the way I was behaving and some people say I was very cruel (I used to joke about my mums death, saying that I was going to call her on the phone...

same here. I do survive though. RE Friends: Not loads of friends, only a few, but very good ones. Not good at keeping in touch with many people at the same time., so I've managed to have 7 good permanent friends and then loads of people who float around but I wouldn't really call friends (acaquainta...

where is he? I jhave been diagnosed, but I must say, not sure I trust the guy who diagnosed me that much
