I met a really nice chap the other day who also happens to have â€¦.DYSPRAXIA.

Only one thingâ€¦ I was expecting a rather feminine looking thing with long red hair blowing about with a big toothy smile (hmmmm Greg? Can you explain that one?... ) .

oh, and Iâ€™m starting to think that they should add â€œpommie accentâ€ to the criteria for dyspraxiaâ€¦.

lol!

I could get a picture of all of us and average them to find what the average dyspraxic looks like. I think Dave Gorman did that with his Dave Gorman collective and he had a monacle!

I'm sure you must have pics of Nina and Tall and of yourself as well as moi)? mind I am the reknowned photo whore of us all :p

Speaking of discovering what dyspraxics look like, Facebook which I've recently signed up to reveals the faces of a great many. Always wondered about the face behind the forum username? Now you can!

sounds like you better get 2 bars of chocolate! as I doubt you would see 1/2 a bar off greg! sounds like a chocoholic!!

but there again keep a lighter handy to burn the teathers that he ties you up with, otherwise the 2nd bar will melt!!

I haven't met anyone who has "dyspraxia" because it's more commonly diagonosed as "non-verbal learning disability" here. I have heard of people who have "non-verbal learning disability," which is the American version of "dyspraxia," but I haven't met them.

My college friend is dyspraxic and you can tell in a way because she never stops talking bless her. If you met her for the first time tyou wouldn't know as she was very shy to begin with, but she openly told us one day.

Luv Meg
