Dyspraxic Adults

Hey readers !

(First I want to say that in my country there is nothing "known" about dyspraxia and after weeks of research, I think nobody takes care.. so I found this page and now I'm very glad to ask an importaint question. Maybe my english is a bit ugly, because it is not my mother tongue.)

A few weeks earlier, I found out that my boyfriend has dyspraxia.
We are both 24 years old, Ive got my own appartment and he's living allready together with his family.
His litte cousins were at his house and asked for this school certificates (to compare the notes).
As I wanted to put the file back into the shelf, I found a page from a doctor / it was written for the armed forces (so its maybe the reason why it be there).

And I read that he's got dyspraxia and some problems with "ticks".
I'm honest - I had to google what is dyspraxia.
And it wasn't new for me... We are now 2 years a couple.. and I ever felt "there is something wrong with him"..
He couldn't speak very well, he is often gravel,
he ... I don't know how to explain but he hadn't any control about his body, often he makes some strange moves with his arms ..
Also he couldn't do things with his hands, like button up himself..

So I ever felt... Why I does this? But as I read and read this weeks, this should be really the answer.

But I really know that THE DON'T KNOW THAT HE HAVE GOT DYSPRAXIA.
His mother is allways "dont talk about that" / "my son is allways fine"... Its a difficult relationsship, but I know she is the type for "my son is healthy !"... we never talked about that, he never read that diagnostic paper...
Its so sad, because he is often struggeling with himself and this environment, like talking with strangers or making some sports ... ... and I can read in his face "why my body doesn't want to?"

It is a heavy burden and I don't know how to touch apon this topic.. It is dramatic experience and I'm affraid of a rejection... but it influences our every day life and your relationship. And I could understand many of the topics which are written here. It begins in the morning with dressing up, having diskussions and my thoughs "I talk to a wall / Did he heard what I'm talking about?" and ends in the night with having problems in sexual things (like "getting touched").
So I have to speak about with him - but I don't know how

Hi sweet raspberry. If your boyfriend has a a document provided for the army I am surprised he doesnt know that he has Dyspraxia .You could maybe introduce him to this website and let him read some of the posts that he maybe able to relate to the problems that many of us do have.Years ago Dyspraxia used to be called minimal cerabal palsy but the name has been changed so many times. It used to be said that if we didnt have fully control of our reflexes some of are cerebal palsy remains even if its not obvious many have had problems with controlling are muscles and have muscle spasms or ticks many of us have will their own little traits which maybe different form the next person.the name has now been changed again to DCD so its hardly surprising that dyspraxia is as well known as dyslexia as it has been known by about ten different names .
