hello my name is peter and i live in leicester im a ripe old age of 25
i was diagnosed with dyspraxia when i was 5 and always struggled with school and growing up but despite having dyspraxia never and still dont know much about it
then since i left if im honest i never gave it much thought and it never affected me or so i thought(mainly because im boring and never go out any where and just play games all times) but recently ive started to take lessons and it has started to hit home more bout it and the more ive read the more i also realies it has affected me one the reasons i dont go out any where is because i get nervious bout everything and always thinking what if
im very bad talking to people i have speech impederment and have low confidence and easly panic bout most things such as if i go on a train im always worrying im not on the right one or ill miss my stop even though it comes up with it going to my destination
i also panic in crowds of people i dont know and get very shy
im not much better in the house when im cooking i often forget to turn the cooker off after using it and have trouble sleeping alot and often drop things like my beer before ive even started drinking it sometimes (which is annoying ) i have poor concentration i cant read a book because after bout 2 minutes my mind start wandering and i loose interest fast i some times even have trouble with games i zone out almost and think bout other things (apart from mass effect games they for some reason always keep me into them for hours on end) but i never put it down to my dyspraxia and i think maybe in some ways try to convince my self it nothing and im being silly
but back to the driving since ive start the lessons im really starting to notice it more then ever i have trouble with space awareness like how far i am from a curb and car infront or next to me and when i drive it always feels like im driving to the right instead of straight even though instructer sure me im not i also have trouble rembering to use clutch all time etc
and today i was thinking despite being diagnosed with it since i was 5 ive never got to meet or talk to other people with dyspraxia and find out how it effects them etc so heres hoping to maybe learn more and maybe get to talk to people more bout and there experiences
and if you not guessed orange is my favourite colour and im rubbish with punctuation and spelling
