Re: Solo Travel

One destination I'd highly recommend for solo travel is Manuel Antonio in Costa Rica. It's a stunningly beautiful place with plenty to see and do, from hiking through the rainforest to relaxing on the beach. Do you have any other recommendations? Costa Rica seems far for me. Regrettably I have deep...

Re: Hi Kaz here

Hi Kaz Welcome to the Forum and your tribe. Glad you've found us. We welcome those who are self-discovered /declaring equally. There's a fair amount of shared traits with Autism and ADHD so it can be quite tricky to nail down whether we might also fall into one of the other categories and the overlo...

Re: Gardening

Hi Tim

egrettably we're not as busy as Social Media where a lot of the discussion is.
We've had professionals in the Horticultural mention gardening before.

While the pace is slower here that can be a distinct advantage sometimes too.

Re: Help me learn how to remember

Is there a way/technique that you use to help your memory? ](*,) Are we talking long or short term memory or both. Many of us with dyspraxia often have to contend with a degree of added anxiety and/or racing thoughts which on there can impede our ability to remember things. There are various tools ...

Re: What are your dyspraxia symptoms

I'm a bit less exacting and not as much my own harshest critic as I used to be. I strive for a degree of perfection but better at knowing when that may not be possible. I can follow a recipe but not a massive fan of multi-componnent meals where you need to have everything planned to be ready at more...

Changing duvet cover involves me crawling into it with duvet to place corners and becoming phantom of ...
