Assessment.

[Sam]

It has been suggested that I am assessed for a formal diagnosis of dyspraxia. Have those who have been through assessments for this found it beneficial and in what way? I don’t want to get a diagnosis just for the sake of it. Thank you.

Hi Sam and. welcome

It can act as vindication and the info you need to start on the jounney of acceptance once you have that piece of paper from a professional it can help you start to believe your're not just lazy/and.or useless.

Personally I find language like 'diagnosis' and 'symptoms' too pathologising, but everyone has their own individual perspective.
