Dyspraxic Adults

Hi nick,
I did feel that it was a bit aggresive and. you also misquoted me by the way.

Liz.If you're in full time education your uni/college should be able to help
I was having a rant about the system not what you said so hope you were not offended

yes know what you mean.
I don't think its reasonable at all to be told to go out and buy some mushrooms. you need to know how many you need.
Off course people aren't always that good at giving instructions so you have to get good at asking questions sometimes instead.

I heard of someone who had a phobia of Banana's. My phobia's are very normal compared to that Im scared of sleeping on my own in the dark since there was a ghost in my room. I think he is there sometimes when I'm on my own so I have to have the light on. I guess it's finding out the guy next door ...

[quote="Liz944"]Does anyone know how to get an official score for an IQ test? I ask because for the paraolympic games for learning disabilities you need a score under 75. That's terrible because a score under 75 would mean you score below average intelligence. Loads of people with learning ...

I think it does get easier as you get older cause other people don't expect you to go out clubbing any more. a lot of my friends are getting married now or at least are in a serious relationship so they're happy to just come out for drinks and do some of the more grown up stuff

I have to write it all down too otherwise I'd definitly forget. Once I've written something it becomes a Lot clearer. My list of instructions at work is probably quite funny to anyone else . It includes things like have you opened the door (in the morning) have you taken the answephone of divert. I ...

hi greg, I know exactly how you feel sometimes I can be really social and other times it's really hard I spent most of my boyfriend birthday hiding in the toilet cause It was all too much. I feel terrible about it. but his friends make me nervous and we went to loads of places I really don't like ...

I found it confusing and didn't bother with it. I have had IQ test before though and scored high. there's a lot of controversy about them and they do underestimate Dyslexic peoples scores so I guess the chances are it would probably underestimate dyspraxic peoples scores too

David Grant in London has been recommended to me by someone from our departent who lectures on neurodiversity and has written books about it.(he diagnosed me) The nr is 020 8579 1902. apparently the reason he is good is that unlike a lot of the others he has alot of experience not just with dyslexia ...

Hi,
I find it really hard to follow even the most basic instructions but I'm told everyone does that.
I kind of doubt thats true because it does seem to be harder for me than for neurotypical people.
I'm dyspraxic, Dyslexic and have ADD
Not sure wheter it's an attention thing...

Hi, I think you are so right about student support. I work in Student services and getting any off the welfare officers to actually speak to a student is virtually impossible( I work on reception) Student services includes disability They just get stroppy with me if I do anything other then take a ...

Hi emma, Which university are at? They really should know about dyspraxia. the disability team here do but that doesn't make them nice peoplelike donna said sometimes I do feel like shouting it out. But I 'm not sure wheter disclosure is always the right thing sometimes it just gives people a reason ...

Hi, Thanks for your advice. I guess it depends on whether he really cares about me whether he makes the time to understand what i'm saying.sometimes I think he doesn't I know what you mean about work making it more obvious. congrats on getting the temping job.It's hard to fit in with everyone else ...

Hi Donna, I haven't shown him any books. Will try it it mght help. I think he is sort of trying to make me feel better by dismissing it. He thinks if he says its ok it will make it all ok but in stead it just stops me from talking about it. I know what you mean with wanting to just shout it out so ...

Hi nice to meet you
