New to forum, been diagnosed over 20 years

Post by Dpearson86 »

Hi everyone, first time joining a forum to talk to other people with dyspraxia.

I was diagnosed when I was about 8 and turning 29 in just over a month, got told I'd never do so much with the diagnoses and spent so much time trying to prove people wrong, I'm quite stubborn.

I've never met or spoken to anyone else with dyspraxia so would love to chat about the differences we have on the spectrum. I always assumed if never speak to anyone else with it as so many people don't know about dyspraxia.

Hi, I'm 31 and was diagnosed with Dyspraxia when I was 15. The forum is great as everyone knows what Dyspraxia is here.

Hi Dpearson
Welcome to our online community. Being stubborn is useful as we need to push the boundaries and not let others or ourselves define what we can or cannot do certain things because of some virtual label.
