I was lucky in that I was diagnosed with dyspraxia in my early childhood, and have always been told that dyspraxic people are naturally creative. As a new member I would like to test this theory!
I am a 22 year old aspiring professional photographer whose always had a passion for Art, I am a semi-serious writer of poetry, and I have been drawing in pencil and pen since I was about 8. I am also a musician. I play guitar, Ukulele, and Harmonica
Can anyone else say they're similar to this effect? It would be very interesting to me if others had similarly creative interests hobbies wise and in their profession.
I like art although I havnt
done anything for a while and also like to to design things.I also like to write poetry but rubbish at anything musical although to be fair I have never really tried to play a instrument .
I also like to take photographs of still life and try and draw them .
I play a little guitar, a few chords so I can play folk songs! My main hobbies are target shooting, mountain biking, and hiking. I normally pick hobbies where I'm judged by my own standards!
Sticks and stones will break your bones, but more often if your dyspraxic!!!
I am a software developer for a living, which is fairly creative, and I certainly enjoy that element of my job. In my freetime I have played various instruments (pretty much any string instrument including guitar, ukulele, bass and violin as well as the piano, recorder and whistle) and I enjoy writing music, I've written a decent amount of poetry and since I've had children I've started writing children's books as well. The latter stuff is all just as a hobby and for the most part I've never really given too much effort to trying to get it published/played. I am considering sending my current children's story out and seeing if I can get it published - but more on the 'why not' principle than because I have a burning desire. I've spent several months working on it, and in my view it's not too bad. For the sake of a couple hours to look up which publishers are taking on new books and sticking a copy in the post - I don't really have anything to lose.
I only recognised how creative i was in mid life, had always thought before ( and school didn't help, comments about messy work and clumsy fingers etc) that I wasn't creative at all. However always liked art, painitngs, colour, texture, sculpture etc as well as writing and enjoyed doing artistic stuff even if i was messy. When i had my psych assessment for dyspraxia a few years ago I found out about divergent thinking and realised my dreamy imagination and love of words menat I could be creative in lots of ways; I work as a counsellor and use images a lot to understand how cllients feel; I use reproduced images to help locate feelings and have done art therapy and other arts based short trainings. It also helps if I am doing any teaching or thinking around a subject - I've always used spider type diagrams in my mind even before I knew what they were. My husband is very linear in his thinking, I free float and associate and I love it ( but it's probably good that only one of us is like that or we'd never get anything done)
I guess I could say that I am creative to some extent - I studded and worked with stage and event lighting and graphics (i.e. video) when i was at uni and also at school. Not being good at painting meant I didn't really want to study art.
I do want to get back into lighting and that is my main focus but recently I have re-found my interest in lava lamps and I find that there is a real creative scope there with the collecting and the customizing of lamps.
In those respects i would call my self creative but not as a writer or a artist i.e. what people usually think of creative.
Weather we call ourselves creative or not dyspraxicia certainly gives us a different perspective on life and a different way of approaching tasks so that can help develop and enhance creativity
I have made some videos and posted them on youtube (my endurance test is very popular search vexens laugh THE ULTIMATE ENDURANCE TEST and it is the one by lauracrocbateman) other than that I am not very creative and as for career I am looking into getting a job with animals
Animal lover forever
Bookworm forever

if you have a dream chase it catch it and never let go of it
I did art at college and animation at uni. I've always drawn and it's the only thing I've ever been any good at. But so many people draw these days I can't even stand out well enough so even that I'm not confident in.... But to answer your question, I suppose I would be called a creative person!
Though some other 'creative' stuff I'm not great at.
Hopefully not making too many moot points... heh... *ahem*
I am a creative type too and I found that out at primary school. I teach and make fine silver, bronze, copper and fused glass pieces and I knit, sew and bake too.
I'm not creative in an artistic sense really, as not terribly visual and not good with my hands! (Although I enjoyed knitting, but it is nice and repetitive, sewing I find so hard!) But I love writing, always have, and books. I'm trying to get a job in a library now, because it's what I love. Although I'm not always good at organising myself, strangely if I go into something that's already got a system set up, I like working within the system and can be quite organised.
I can think creatively. Ask for a story made up on the spot and im fine. Never managed to draw or paint well though. cant get the stories right if i try to write them down either.
I'm training to be a teacher but my entire life I've been told im really creative but not artistic. As in I can come up with all the ideas but can never execute them the way I see the in my head.
