Re: to be succesful in life with dyspraxia etc

Hi Aladdin I entirely agree and I'm disappointed the Government have not done more to reverse the effect of cuts to Access to Work. I believe the other thing people need to be understand and accept is that EDI and Equality Act protections must be preserved and protected. A new manager and/or ...

Re: Newly diagnosed with Dyspraxia alongside ADHD - looking for coping tips

Hi Happy-daze It's very individual insofar as how we're affected, other co-occurring conditions we might and working out which traits are a result of which conditions.

Re: Has anyone actually found a calendar sync setup that stays reliable?

Hi and welcome Austtin Logic would dictate that if you were ysing Google calendar across all your devices they would synch using the cloud. Is it possible to check each device to check to see if automatic synch is enabled? Could you be putting gates in but inadvertently adding them to a team ...

Re: Assessment Centres - Berkshire

Worth looking at whether yout Health Insurance or Employer's Occupational Health Provision might cover assessment. It is worth it as an investment if it helps you accept your challenges and difficulties are not due to.'character flaws'. Such as you not trying hard enough or applying yourself. The ...

Re: Assessment Centres - Berkshire

Hi Chill-e Regrettably I'm not aware of any directory of or recommendation of assessment centres for Dyspraxia. The Dyspraxia Foundation, sadly no-longer in existence, didn't ever have or maintain such a list. You could speak to https://dyspraxiauk.com/ or equally contact the Professional ...

Re: Struggling

Hi there Welcome to the Forum and apologies for the downtime earlier. Please bear in mind the problem is not necessarily you.

Re: Small coordination differences day to day

Hi, I’ve noticed that my coordination can feel quite different from one day to another. On some days, simple things like using utensils or typing feel fairly natural, and on other days the same actions take more effort and concentration.

Re: How to date not being able to drive? (Man)
