Dyspraxic Adults

I know I've mentioned this before (on 'Praxis - the Homeworld of Dyspraxics?), but I discovered a new element to Star Trek that I thought constituted an interesting discussion in its own right. 'Dyspraxia' (I've heard) basically means a 'lack of praxia' - 'Praxia' being the substance, thing or spiri...

Hmm - Librarian - hadn't thought of that. I find I am quite anal, like collecting books &, like you say "I love... learning random bits of information."

Thanks for your ideas...

I did a degree in Economics (just before the credit crunch!) & chose a job at RBS-Natwest (just before the whole bail-out business). As you can see - I make wise career choices! \:D/ Currently I'm at a 'Tale of Two Cities' crossroads & am wondering what to do in life. Are dyspraxics meant to...

I know this has been partly covered before (e.g. by 'What sort of Jobs do you guys have?') but I thought it deserved it's own thread. As a dyspraxic: what is the job you'd most like to do & feel happiest in? What fits a dyspraxics clumsiness, yet natural creativity & what do y'all dream of d...

I've joined a Tai Chi club & took to reading 365 Tao, but I have to confess that Taoism as a whole doesn't seem a 100% solution (though its the closest I've yet found). Tai Chi is very weird & definitely brings out the clumsy kid in me. It gives me a weird feeling occasionally like I'm chipp...

Both & neither - a veritable paradox!

Osymandus - I think your right with the water thing. Maybe that's the solution to Dyspraxia - to overcome it with alternatives or simply circumventing the problems with flexibility. As Bruce Lee says "Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes t...

I disagree entirely with saying that if you think you can do something you can and if you think you can't, you can't. If you read the original, I don't propose this as the complete solution, but it is a large part of it. I appreciate that a lot of people take this sort of thing too far, so I hope t...

I think it's a sound idea & at least it would be genuine football (as opposed to the passionless drivel our players have been putting out lately). :ball: How are we going to make it fun for Dyspraxics though? My main experience with sport is being the last on the bench & I'm sure I'm not alo...

Arrrrgggghhh - I'm melting!

Have to pray to Xenu that he'll strike you down...

Hmm - fascinating! Especially the bit about dreams. :-k This links in with another thread on this forum about 'Daydreaming' - I think vivid dreams & daydreaming must be somehow linked to Dyspraxics need for lots of sleep & also their clumsiness (dreaming is often the subconcious working on a...

Hmm - I'd heard of Tai Chi (& have done some weird exercises to correct my dyspraxia), but I never realised that Taoism had so many physical off-shoots. :) Maybe some genius mystic could come up with an exercise that would exactly counteract Dyspraxia's chaos & teach its users how to channel...

Phew - I'm not alone! :bumps: Was wondering what that 'Tao of Pooh & Teh of Piglet' was like - good to hear that it's not jst a gimmick. There is a lot more to it than just a cure for Dyspraxia, but I think it goes a long way to answering some of the existential riddles that us Dyspraxics have &...

Loving those two! Is it just me or does that Bobby Mcferrin one not really work without the video? It's amazing how lame 90% of pop videos are & how impoverished some people's imaginations can be (e.g. the 'Go Compare' adverts), but those two are definitely special. Here's some of the best I've ...
