I'm 20 and in University and only recently came across the idea of dyspraxia,but looking into it, I'm think I tick a lot of the boxes, and a friend who is dyspraxic basically told me he see's a lot of the things he has problems with in me. Among other things, I'm incredibly clumsy, fall over a lot, have trouble with sports, my hands are shaky a lot of the time and my sense of direction is absolutely abysmal(I can get lost like 3 roads away from the house I've lived in my entire life). My voice is pretty weird, I don't have the accent of my home town, either of my parents or any of my friends, and some words I struggle with. I fidget a lot, and my attention span is not great. I've looked into getting tested with the university but I just can't afford it, and I don't qualify for getting it free. I was just wanting to know, is there any advantage to being officially tested for it, or is it ok to stay untested with the knowledge I *may* have dyspraxia? Can I get the resources that would come with a diagnosis elsewhere? I want to educate myself on it, but don't really know where to start.
.Most of the reason I want the test is piece of mind, and knowing its not totally my fault
In terms of jobs, I'm trying to go in to Neuroscience research, which doesn't really need all that much coordination, so hopefully I should be ok.
