Dyspraxic Adults

I'm sorry to hear you've been having seizures quackstar84... epilepsy sounds scary.

I had no idea astigmatism could have been causing those symptoms... i just thought it might have been part of some 'sensory integration' problem!

I probably sound negative or like a wet blanket but they covered so much ground they basically just listed the primary symptoms of dyslexia, adhd, and dyspraxia!!! and then they had a little disclamer type thing at the end saying "Eye problems related to reading may be caused by Irlen Syndrome " so ...

Crazy Aussies! lol! Certainly the bit at the end where the goalie saves the ball and then manages to hurl it into the net behind him reminds me of some of my sporting achievements at school, but otherwise I thought they were able to kick and bounce balls all far too well! Dyspraxics? Mere wannabes ...

…NERDS FC… http://www20.sbs.com.au/nerdsfc/index.php ... (dyspraxics in disguise) OK, I think we HAVE to adopt this soccer team as our own… Check out the video clips and you'll see what I mean!… (the music one is soo cool). http://www20.sbs.com.au/nerdsfc/index.php?pg=tv These guys have GOT T ...

You say tomato, I say tomato…(it doesn’t really work when you spell it out, does it?!) Well actually its not so simple… categorising disorders is a damn hard task – whereas categorising fruit is slightly more straight forward – at least ‘fruit’ is a tangible concept as you can actually ...

Hey Ruth, I’ve been staring at this post for a while! But haven’t responded because it was such a tough question! I really understand when you say … I'm finding it difficult to seperate it from me I guess its all too tightly weaved together. The deeper you think about this question, the harder ...

Hey quackstar84, I never knew anyone else felt that too!! I though it was just me. Although wearing them means I can actually see clearly, I hate wearing them for some of the reasons you mentioned and have tried to go without for as long as i can... which means that ppl have to be close for me to ...

Hi all, Just noticed that there are quite a few of you here that have been diagnosed in adulthood. Some of you might feel that you have slipped through the net and have been let down by the educational system. I thought you might be interested in reading this article. http://education.guardian.co.uk ...

Hey Fuzzy,

I'm really sorry to read about what an extremely challenging time you're having at the moment. I hope that once you get through/over/around this major hurdle things will start getting better for you.

Good luck.

The new logo is so cute. It made me smile

hi imposter

bear just was brought up the topic of speech and i thought it deserved a thread!!! :) i find the speech side of things exhausting and effortfull sometimes. as though i have to make such an effort to speak clearly. it never bothered me when i was younger, but now that im older (and probably speak so ...

I'll add my 2 cents worth. I have a feeling that ruth is going to be just fine without telling them :) . Since this is your first placement, it’s going to be a good way for you to gauge if this is necessary in the future. I think disclosure is going to be an added unnecessary stress for you right n ...

Thats fantastic news!!
