Dyspraxic Adults

you get so bogged down with stuff at work and uni that you're head feels scrambled and knackered.

...to pack a pen i a pocket in the lid of a suitcase, and after a minute find out that it will go much easier if you lift the lid off the floor so that the opening is upwards and not downwards

When you have to expalin to someone that the loud ticking of the clock is driving you crazy and stopping you from sleeping (although me asking has annoyed my mother greatly! Can't wait to be in my own flat again..)

when you get too much to get done and you spend the morning and afternoon planning what you're gonna do next and then you think of something thats important and you can't concentrate on the tasks in hand. I have recently started working in placement with social services within the same team. So I am basically doing too jobs at once and because I'm a little behind on my assignments for health reasons, my brain is constantly thinking of the assignment and because i have another job my head feels a litttle scrambled. (Please note the placement is only temporally and it's part of the course)

When you get home from 2 weeks away, walk into the bedroom and immediately bash your knee on the end of the bed! I told the OH what I'd done and he said "so you know you're home now then?"

I'm always bashing myself on the end of the bed !!

I do that frequently and I also find i miss judge spaces like doorways and corridors.

This is the evil banana pixie

You know when you do something thats so ridiculous that you wonder if something is playing a joke on you because out of all the possible accidents to have why this inexplicable incedent. Such as pouring water into a glass. 25ml enters the glass and all 25ml flies into the air and out of the other side landing with a plop on top of your sandwhich.

What an EBPM

(What an Evil Banana Pixie Moment)

Fortunatley the good banana pixie option is available what for? you tell me : )

Despite giving myself 2 hours to get ready in the morning in the last week I have been to work with my blouse buttoned up wrong and top on inside out


On top of that cracked my ribs getting out the shower

Have had current job three months and no more room left to put things in the drawer so my desk is tidy

That reminds me , i used to get away with that for years being in IT , then some swine brought in tidy desk policy filled my draw's up rather quickly

you try to concentrate on a tv programme and then fall asleep as your so tired and miss rest of it and then wonder what's the time is three hours later and then to make matters worse there's a assignment that gotta be done and it's impossible

Going to the cinema and leaving the mobile there. While looking for the mobile in rucksack (before realising it was forgotten in the cinema) loosing bike lights. Returning to cinema to get mobile. Finding it there but losing wallet (maybe also when looking for mobile in the rucksack?). All in the same evening! before having to travel abroad!

Panicking because you think you have lost your mobile ... and its actually in your pocket where you put it 2 minuites ago

You accidentally smash your barber in the face with the wallet you've been trying to pull out of the pocket in your jeans to pay him.
I am a master of inadvertently crippling people in interesting ways, my mate reckons I should turn it into a marshal art .

You know you are Dyspraxic when you have to take strong pecautions in just about everything you do.
You know you are Dyspraxic when you were once in a class mingling only to find 3 weeks later you are sitting on your own in the corner.
You know you are Dyspraxic when you get so excited that people look at you as if to say whoah OK it wasn't that funny.
You know you are Dyspraxic when people look at you like you have two heads or resemble an Alien.
You know you are Dyspraxic when you are the laughing stock of the family.

But you also know you are Dyspraxic because everywhere you go you are sure to bring smiles and laughter
