Hello

[Yossarian]

I'm an undiagnosed mid 30s male. About two years ago, an employer asked if I was intentionally concealing a learning disorder. This led me to research learning disorders where I found out about dyspraxia.

I have many dyspraxic traits. I can't keep track of/catch/throw a ball with any accuracy. I quickly forget new information. This makes it difficult to follow instructions, as I am often asking for clarification. I have a very poor sense of direction and I struggle with driving (judging the dimensions of a car is extremely difficult). I find remembering and following set procedures to be challenging. The list goes on, but I'm sure you get the picture.

I have found this forum to be a good source of information.

Hi and welcome and thanks

Question about Intentionally concealing a learning disorder feels like it was pretty awkwardly worded itself. Lack of awareness and understanding can be a right pain sometimes. I prefer to consider it a learning difference rather than a disorder but lets not get into a knot over nomenclature. Hope our forum helps and gives you some ideas for developing/improving your personal coping strategies.
