Dyspraxic Adults

first off Welcome to the forum BrotherJustin1981 reading through your post, I quite often found myself in the same boat. and usually the questions you are asked, you never really know the answers to, like how can we assist you? how can we help you? how can we improve things for you? and on the other...

Hi RTK, Having driven an automatic myself for 6 months 9 years ago after a 17 years of driving manual cars, and the 8 year since driving manual cars, I wouldn't say it is something you get over, and not really anything to get over. I have always been aware of which gear I am in at any moment, plus I...

yes they can, but depends on how much effort they are willing to put into passing as well. best advice is to put everything into learning to drive, including getting someone else to teach, and while they maybe a drill sergent on small details, just remember why you are learning. I passed my driving ...

Always worry about this now have my own flat. My support workers say I should pay all my bills by direct debit. My parents say paying by direct debit could mean I have problems if I overspend and can't afford to pay my direct debits. It's so hard to know what to do for the best. basically my view i...

I would be kind of careful with this one, as a doctor saying not to drive can be classed as going against medical instructions. there are some conditions that if you have a bump after even a doctor telling you not to drive can invalidate your insurance if they check up any medical conditions with th...

Welcome to the forum Nieko, I was 10 when I was diagnosed, and 30 when I found out about the condition, maybe I was one of the lucky ones in a way as was sent for testing due to parents persistence. but my GP then went on that it was all in their head rather than they did find something wrong. I sup...

I could give loads of stories from back in the 80's when my grandparents owned a pub. like a common thing for them to do was they had an intercom that they always listened to music on. the one day they heard what sounded like a tray of glasses smashing upstairs through the intercom. they ran upstair...

Welcome to the forum, this really depends on the individual at the end of the day, unless on trial. the employer can't just fire you on the spot, but they can make the working enviroment more awkward for the person. this question has been asked lots on the forum if you want to look up others replies...

yeah I don't think there is one thread that I have locked, unless on my route to deleting a spam message. so basically take your pick from 28/3/2017 to something like 1/2/2006, as long as something relevent to the topic we are very relaxed bunch of people :-) pretty sure all the topics are still ope...

Hi Melissa, I agree with Tom, this is a poisoned challice, from personal experience, then maybe the times you are talking about could be attributed to something like ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), which can be a cousin to Dyslexia, and Dsypraxia, as you say you wanted a cuddle while he was orderi...

one thing you can do Tim is try cutting the labels off the best you can, either that or pick at the stitching, and then get someone with a sowing machine to re-seam the side that the label was on. but make sure the underwear is good enough for you first.

but what I would like to say is try also to think outside the box, so think of ways they could profit from you being there, so maybe I don't know maybe you can work efficiently by making the beds, making tea, and coffees, doing paper work. answering the phone, as doing other work might also make the...

I tend to use a knife, and fork for spaghetti, still a messy task, but totally useless trying to use a fork and spoon. twirls just keep falling off my fork whether stabbed, or scooped. shells tend to have the same problem with, oh well there are times of having a dog comes in handy for the escape pe...

I know my local council do the assessment for criteria based on what DLA/PIP you are claiming, eg. high rate mobility entitles you to a blue badge or bus pass, low rate then they won't give you the form to complete, or even take to your doctor to complete. if you are unsure, or you think you should ...

cats are very independent, and some can love the attention all the time, and some not so much otherwise they turn nasty. all you can ever do is show them short sections of being friendly. and let them be, unless they show that they want more. like my cat will turn and bite if I give her too much att...
