age? too old for forum??

Post by angeline »

Interested to talk to anyone like myself a forty something and only just linking self to dyspraxia ( it didn't exist as far as the establishment were concerned when I was at school I'm sure!) I would love to be able to label mysef and discover that I'm not so odd!

Well I'm slightly younger than you :whistle: ;) but can associate with what you are saying. Problems at work led me to my suspicions, but I have never been tested for it or anything.

What led you to investigate dyspraxia?

I'm 37 years young.. & I'm getting well stuck in LOL ~ been looking for this sort of forum for a looooooooong time!! Was diagnosed at 14, but never told I had a motor problem, just told I was an awkward clumsy child. How rude eh?! but I reasearched 7 years ago & the last 4 have been fantastic.. I've a good understanding of my limitations, but a better one of my abilitys. My probs were always not knowing how to apply myself to anything. Now that barrier is out the way & I apply myself to double everything to make up for lost time!! I'm having my 1st childhood now LOL ~ theres much to explore with oneself & dypraxia ~ it's hard to find but it's out there! Well, in my long experience its never been anywhere, til I found this wonderful forum here last week!! looking forward to chatting!!

Saz
