Re: I think i might have dyspraxia
There's no requirement to provide examples to be accepted here. Think they're called a turntable plate or something like that. Agree they can be a pain to seat properly as you have to line up the lugs in the base of your microwave with those on bottom of turntable. Definitely something to potentiall...

Re: I think i might have dyspraxia
I am 34 female. Currently jobhunting. Have worked in a library, worked with children, volunteered in a charity shop, volunteered in an office.

Hi Tom/Thomas? Welcome to the Forum. In order to help people could you tell us a little about where you're from (just general e.g town/city/county/region or country) if you prefer) and a little more about how you came to be assessed and the route you took. Getting diagnosis/formal confirmation is so...

Re: Professional relationship support
Hi there I can definitely empathise as I've always been inveterately single and am now well into my 40s Regrettably people on dating sites can be (and/or very much feel like they're) unforgiving and fickle. It's like a sweet shop and no one seems to quite know exactly what they want or need. It feel...

Re: Falling under stress/ anxiety
Hey! Stress and anxiety can definitely affect focus and coordination, especially for adults with dyspraxia. While I'm not a pro, some people find relief with CBD products. It's worth exploring! Remember, what works for one person might differ for another, so it's cool to experiment cautiously. Also...

Re: Writing a Dyspraxic Character
Hey All! Non-dyspraxic person here. I'm writing a comic, and I want to add a character with dyspraxia. If this isn't a suitable place to ask some questions about this, I'd love if you could point me in the right direction. So, first and foremost, do you think I should do this at all? I don't person...

Re: Hello!
Hello I'm Jan An older member. glad to have found this forum. Back in my day (when dinosaurs roamed) Dyspraxia wasn't heard of, even my nice parents were embarrassed by by clumsyness.

Re: Help - private assessment refused
Sadly those with acquired dyspraxia miss out on getting the recognition and support needed. For example If someone has a brain injury or stroke and related difficulties as a result, if they can be discharged by OT/Physiotherapist then it's cased closed and there too often isn't MH support for dealin...

Re: Help - private assessment refused
Hi Bely An OT is not a Neurologist so I can understand something of why they are not comfortable proceeding without a Neurologist's report. They have to cover themselves in the unlikely case that confirming a 'diagnosis of' dyspraxia resulted in more serious and sinister causes being missed or ignor...

Re: Decisions and routines
Hi and welcome There are definitely crossovers with traits that are more commonly attributed to other ND conditions foe example ADHD. We won't all necessarily meet thresholds to be diagnosed. The other common crossover is anxiety, problems with short-term memory, executive function, sequencing of ta...
