Hiya,
I am 34 years old and was dianosed with dypraxia about 2 years ago, when I first find out I was relieved because I realised I wasn't mad. I also have dyslia and was dianosed at college when I was 19.
I seem to be going through a bad patch and thought it would be good to chat to you guys. I get very frustrated and tend to over think what people say to be and turn it into a negative. Has anybody else expereenced this?

Hiya, by coinscidence I also find this website tonight and joined. I was actually looking up something for work. I hope that it helps you to feel less frustrated about your life / symptoms, a problem shared is a problem halved so the old saying goes! Sometimes knowing that you are not the only one can make you feel heaps better!
I am 25 and officially i dont have dyspraxia (like so many people on this link i am 99.9% sure i do)! unlike many people here, i guess my symptoms maybe less severe (i know that because i work with dyspraxic children... I am an OT and no, diagnosing yourself doesnt work, even if you go to a GP)! however my difficulties are evident enough to notice them and for people to ask me if i have been drinking when infact I am 100% sobre, i just naturally gravitate towards walls, doors etc when i see them!
Life with dyspraxia (even mild symptoms) can be very frustrating, not having it recognised can be even more frustrating. From both a professional and personal point of view, i find that so much more work needs to be done to educate the general population about dyspraxic symptoms a little more understanding about finding simple things difficult would go along way!
I am glad i have found this sight... not what i expected on a friday night tho

Hi
I did an online questionair so not really dianosed but results came back very strong. The more I have read the more sure I am that I am dyspraxic. Reading the posts on here has really helped because it has made me realise I'm not alone.
The dyxlecia was diagnosed by an educational phycoligist. Please how do i spell check on here?
