Dyspraxic Adults

Hi! I'm Allyson. is anyone here in the states? I am in Texas. It would be cool to make some friends regardless if your in the states or not!

hi there Allyson

Yes we do have some occasional visitors from the USA, and also Canada + plenty of other places besides. Welcome to our corner of the web. Hope the posts prove informative and please do post freely here. We are a quiet lot and the pace can be slow here.

Yes I am from the states! And I was hoping to find local help and a Doctor to refer me for testing.
I was diagnosed at age 10 with dyspraxia.
Always verbally intelligent but following directions
Writing neatly and organization always a struggle
I do take meds for Adult ADD but sometime wonder if it is an OT I need to help me with being on time doing things in a timely manner I feel like I move slower than everyone.
I am a teacher live by students and parents.
I am married and have many friends.
But it is emotionally exhausting to keep up with day to day life and I am taking meds for depression.
I think there is a better way just can’t find it.

Hi and welcome

I think a lot of us 'cope' by being especially demanding of ourselves in the hope that others will then be unable to find fault. Unfortunately this is rarely sustainable. It's a condition we have to learn to live with as regrettably there seems to be little or no help available for adults so mutual support from groups like this is invaluable.

I don't know if DyspraxiaUSA can advise, I'd also look at counselling/therapy such as CBT or mindfulness to supplement the anti-depressants.

Please feel free to come back with specific questions and I/we will try our best to help or suggest avenues to try.

Hi Allison,
I'm Michael I'm in Pa.
