Hi everyone
Hi. I just want to introduce myself. Today i had my assessment and was advised it's pretty certain i have dyspraxia. I need to wait for my full reaults and report but the OT who assessed me advised it was clear feom the way i walked and pressed down on a pen amd other things she noticed throughout the assessment. I'm 32 and now i know all my quirks suddenly make sense in life. I have never known anyone who has this so it is nice to find this forum to say hey

Hi Lisa
Apologies for slow reply and glad you've found us.When you first hear/read about it a lot of things seemingly click into place, but you'll likely have a lot of questions too. Feel free to ask whatever you need to. Working out what it means for us personally and how to use and share that info aren't always the easiest things to process.
It's also well worth checking out www.dyspraxialifemagazine.co.uk

Hi Lisa
I have just joined too. May I ask please what you need to do to get referred for an assessment? I am 41, but I have struggled with the symptoms all my life. I am having a lot of issues at work learning new skills and I just feel so frustrated with myself. I was asked to follow a recipe to cook some rice and I just couldn’t process what I was reading! I avoid going out in case I am asked up on the dance floor and I can’t go out and not get lost, even using a sat nav. My self esteem is so bad. I feel if I can get a diagnose, I will know why I am the way I am and won’t get such a hard time at my workplaces
