Hiya tangled, I hope this post finds you well, and, Welcome to the forum! :D

These are classic 'symptoms' if you will, and the first I came across when I Googled Dyspraxcia for the first time after a chat with my GP. Although it varies so much from one person to the next, and all that you mention will not affect everyone, I do personally believe there is an overlap between almost all of them, affecting every individual to a more/lesser extent than the other... if that makes any sense?? :S

Lol! :D

Dyspraxia is when your intelligence level is just so high that you strugle with basic daily tasks such as pouring juice into a glass, cleaning or cycling a bike as a way to compensate for being a creative genius . ;)

That's a nice interesting and positive way to frame it
