Difficult Birth - Is there a connection?
I know this was touched on in another post, but the focus was more on genetics and birth order, so we didn't get many answers to this particular question. I was interested in the potential link between difficult births and dyspraxia. How many of you had a hard time getting into this world? I managed ...

I imagine myself holding a pen and I KNOW I writw withmy right hand so the hand I close to grip the imaginary pen is my right works every time./ Ruth, that's how I've always figured out my right from my left as well. :-) I was the last in my class to learn to write my own name. Of course, it didn't ...

The Temper Connection
I was reading somewhere recently that dispraxics have a tendency toward a short temper. Do you think that this is directly linked to dispraxic brain wiring, or do you think it is a side effect born out of the frustration of having every little thing take so much more effort than it should? In other ...

Can you judge your own volume?
I'm curious if other people have trouble judging their own speaking volume. It seems that most of the time nobody can hear a word I say unless I talk so loudly that it hurts my own ears. Other times, especially if I'm excited about something, people complain that I'm shouting at them. Aaargh!

Greetings From the Frigid North
Hi, I'm a 33 year-old from the U.S. (Currently in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.) Yes, it's cold up here. About -10 degrees Fahrenheit outside as I write this (roughly -25 Celsius). I was diagnosed with Developmental Coordination Disorder back in the mid eighties when I was almost 9 years old ...

You know you're dispraxic when... You get so caught up in the hold music, you forget why you called. You regularly find cuts and bruises and ask yourself, "Now when did that happen?" One of your most prized possessions is a label maker. (But you probably can't find it.) You call a time service so ...
