Hi Harris,

I am studying at the moment too. I do fine in my exams and assignments but forget everything i have learnt or written about as soon as i have handed it in.
How did you find out about your dyspraxia?

My parents were concerned about some of my behavioural tendencies so I visited an array of child psychologists and the like. I think I was diagnosed at age 5, so I've known about it as long as I can remember. That being said, I don't think the awareness of how it affected me kicked in until later on.

I do fine in my studies too, and I have the exact same problem! Occasionally I go over old essays just to jog my memory. I do struggle with time management a bit, but I think I'm getting better at it.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Blues beating the Crusaders on Saturday night. There are probably a lot more modest Aucklanders than I am aware of. Or perhaps you're just not a rugby fan?
