Delayed development

[loulou]

Is delayed development for walking, crawling etc crucial to a dyspraxia diagnosis?

I have most of the symptoms and several medical proffessionals have suggested I have dyspraxia but I learnt to walk, talk and crawl at average ages or slightly before.

Does this mean I dont have dyspraxia or is it just another of many symptoms that some people may or may not have?

In all difficulties/disabilities everyone is different.
Some children struggle to walk etc maybe (or maybe not) due to dyspraxia. And some walk fine.
It's best not to over think it really

Hi fordinand,

Thanks for replying. I'm going to try get an appointment with my GP next and see if I can get an assessment for dyspraxia and I didn't want to waste any bodies time if I definitely didn't have it because I developed walking etc at a "normal" rate as a child so thanks for the reassurance. I'll definitely make the appointment now I know it's not a make or break thing.

their are no default symptoms just common traits, for example I walked and learnt to ride a bike like most people and learnt well, but according to the assesment done I fall into the 1%tile for alot of other things.
