Dyspraxic Adults

Hi all, I’m a 34 year old horror scriptwriter/film director from London. I have only in the last few years discovered that my life-long clumsiness/forgetfulness and lack of co ordination was an actual condition. I am breaking into the film industry and will be very big in a couple of years. Unfortu...

Hi Fee

There is no chat room per se. I do run a Mon night chat session on Zoom at 8.30pm. This lasts 40 mins but if conversatio is flowing I relaunch subsequent session(s) after Zoom boots us out.

It's quite common that parents come to realise they're affected too.

Hi Cmc Welcome. Glad you've found us I've def found not having the TV on in morning helps, as does the avoidance of temptation to fiddle on my phone (other than to turn alarm off once out of bed). The Snooze button does get hit a couple of times but since my hours are flexible I don't have a formal ...

Dyspraxia does not define our whole and while we may struggle to engage and grasp some things some of the time, we can be very tenacious and see things from a different angle making our approach to problem very effective/even legendary. However, we can be prone to burnout as we are apt to pursuing o...

I think creativity often comes because we so often need to be creative to get by and we often see things differently from a different perspective. People sometimes confuse creativity with having artistic talent but creativity extends more widely. People living with ADHD are often positively fizzing ...

Hi there and welcome Dyspraxia and ADHD are often linked and you definitely list some strong and definite Neurodivergent traits associated with both. I found myself saying yes, yes, Me too, to a lot of the things you've listed. Regrettably awareness of Dyspraxia, even in the UK, is such that many st...

Hi guys, I'm just wondering if anyone can give me some advice and/or relate to this situation. I'm in an online college English class that only meets using Webex. The class basically consists of a conversation about the texts, and the teacher oftentimes calls on people unexpectedly in order to get ...

. .. .dyspraxia is known to be centred at the lower back of the brain - Hi Helen Please cite your source for the above claim? Dyspraxia is a complex condition and many have other conditions which in some cares have indirect links. There is regrettably an awful lot of unhelpful and in some cases ver...

Thank you both for your answers. They are both really helpful. The problem I have is that my job is both physical prepping food e.t.c and mental paperwork planning e.t.c. it's particularly the physical side which I find diffcult and of course thatscyhe job everyone dislike so I have had some very b...

Hi and welcome Bokucakes Parents always seem to have a favourite and do a poor job of treating their offspring equally It's definitely worth looking at some way to help you process this as it can be a barrier moving forwards. I don't recall my mum having a conversation about my being assessed so it ...

Yesterday I went to an interview and have been offered the job however althoughbi mentioned I wa...

I looked into Dyspraxia when Ryan fell off his bike in Dr Who. I had heard about it and suspected that my poor handwriting might be linked to this learning difficulty but my experience of falling off bikes (and into and off things in general) has convinced me. I don't have a diagnosis but at 50 yea...
