Link between dyspraxia and addiction
Hello, can anyone provide me with any more resources on the link between dyspraxia and addiction? On this link [url][https://dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk/dysp ... dults//url] it states in the dyspraxia symptoms Prone to... compulsions and addictive behaviour. However I can not find any other articles anywhere else where this link is discussed?
Re: Link between dyspraxia and addiction
It's a bullet point rather than a URL link and gives some examples of potential behaviours that some one with Dyspraxia might exhibit.
Such behaviour does not specifically' refer to a higher incidence of substance abuse though I can appreciate that some might choose to 'self-medicate'.
I think that some of us find measure of comfort in routines and/or repetitive activities that might be seen as a little odd to some. Equally there's a higher risk/incidence of mental health difficulties.

I had a big problem with substance abuse for about 5 years. I feel that was more related to me self medicating my ADD with amphetamines and an inherent interest in learning about pharmacology via experimentation though.

Re: Link between dyspraxia and addiction
Is there such an addiction?
