Dyspraxic Adults

I don’t need to be drunk to fall over but I have enjoyed a drop of the old falling down water or two. It is v much a mood amplifier so best avoided if you’re already feeling down. Everyone’s different and not all like taste or see attraction of getting off their face in a club where you’re paying £5...

Hi Scarlet

Welcome to the forum. I have a friend who trained as a journalist but ultimately did not enter the profession. He has created the online magazine www.dyspraxialifemagazine.co.uk

I also know number of Dyspraxic folk who have written books from Facebook-based Dyspraxia groups I'm in.

Hi again David Apologies for long silence I'm aware of a Teeside group but believe like many it is more parent and child focused. The Pandemic has thrown a whole load of extra uncertainty into all of our lives. Mine included. Have you been able to talk openly with the wife about what each of your cu...

No problem. Will get into it later when main computer is on.

Don't worry about grammatical or spelling errors here since it's an informal group setting and we're well aware some folk struggle in this area.

Hi Zan and welcome Glad you've found us. I'm lucky in that my speech is not to adversely affected, However, there are plenty of folk for whom speech is a difficulty, plus it can also really gnaw at our confidence as we struggle to convey what we need to other people, leading to much frustration. A c...

The woman has anxiety in social situations.

A lot of folk do.
I do myself to a degree, how about yourself?

Statistics can be a nightmare and horribly brain bendingly confusing. I believe the Dyspraxia Foundation have cited that 10% of people may be affected by Dyspraxia. 2% more severely. I don't really know a lot about the incidence of other NeuroDivergent conditions and the degree to which they co-occu...

Hi Sammy and welcome Social Isolation is definitely something, far too many of us struggle with. Often communication difficulties like auditory processing or problems speaking can really dent our confidence and cause us anxiety and fear. If you ever want to share survey links to try to attract respo...

Please cite peer reviewed sources to support your claim: "I know a majority of people with asperger syndrome or traits of asperger syndrome have dyspraxia ?" Neurodivergent conditions seem to comprise a hotch potch of shared /similar traits. I don't think anyone has bothered to try to work out incid...

Hi Dani I also volunteer as an Admin of a couple of groups on FB. I believe there are some Dyspraxia specific student groups, as well as many other non specific groups for Dyspraxic folk, some of whom may also be students. It would be worth doing some research and sending a private message on here t...

Hi David and welcome. I"d be stressed too. You have a lot going on and your brain will likely ave kicked up a gear. The multiple things you have to think/worry about are dizzying and if you're anything like me I v much suspect you become harder on and more demanding of yourself. Treat yourself kindl...

Hi Freda and welcome. I'm glad you've found us. I think a lot of parents don't (can't) understand dyspraxia and are of the old school that labels become a self fulfilling prophecy. Also I guess Mum's hate to think that they have not adequately helped prepare you for the cruel harsh world. I also thi...

The woman said "I hope you find a girlfriend, "I am happy to try to find me to love." To me the "I hope you find a girlfriend" suggests that she is really not sure. But is at least being nice in saying she hopes you find someone. "I am happy to try to find me to love." is more confusing and if it w...

Regrettably it is impossible to say without full context. Online dating messages can be so difficult to interpret.

Hi John and a warm welcome. Glad you've found us and Thank you for your introduction So sorry to read about your dad. I can only begin to imagine some of the strain veterans and their family members feel. Comparatively I think the UK is much(?) better in terms of Dyspraxia Awareness. Of course it ce...
