Dyspraxic Adults

Yes, and no. Sorry.

When I do them, I usually get praised for how well it's done. I just put so much energy into it that I just want to sit down forever, the fact it takes away all my energy to do anything I enjoy and I never get any help to do them. I'm not entirely sure why I've always found it so hard to attract ...

My problem is that I don't compensate - even for the milk! Probably because I've had similar comments to what I've just read a lot of other people have had. The thing about getting half a cup, etc. So I fill the cup with water, and then realise that I haven't left space for milk... :rolleyes: Have ...

Not sure about neurodiversity specifically, but Vonnegut or Keller are my main go to guys regarding the eccentricities of the human mind. Thinking about it, you might enjoy A Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime if you've not already come across it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v ...

I've always practiced conversations out loud, not sure whether that's due to anxiety or loneliness or to get out angry feelings, I think it's probably a mixture of all three. I've spoken to several psychologists about it, all of whom have pretty much found it 'endearing' and not cause for alarm as ...

Who fills mugs to the top? That's weird. Most people would find it difficult to not spill a completely full mug and it's not really advisable for any person (dyspraxic or otherwise) to do so due to it being a hazard.

Yeah, I've been prone to it off and on, but I manage to sleep enough that I've never really considered it insomnia until the past few months were it's all progressed to nightmares and an inability to fall asleep without waking myself up first.

I've started taking trazodone to try nad help.

I'm the same. I grew up with neglectful parents, too, so I've never been in an environment where I've been shown how to do it, so I get really stressed out. Wish I could be better but it's unlikely to ever happen as I've developed other health problems.

I'm originally from South East London, still fairly confused. . Hello there, Mike.

I dropped out of university for the exact same reason, but I did end up finding work in a field I loved. It's different for me, as I did very well at college so had some good qualifications to market myself, but please don't give up. :( What do you enjoy doing? There are lots of avenues for you to ...

I'm not sure. Unfortunately, because of the way the NHS is funded, there's a lack of co-ordinated care. I could try, but I've developed some pretty poor working relationships with the doctors I've seen due to health problems building up but having precious little in the way of help. Thanks for your ...

My boyfriend did something like this in his third year at university. He did a Physics degree, but the code itself was an introduction to Java. So perhaps Java might be worth learning for this? Idk. I'm thinking about learning to code but I'm too anxious right now to do anything. I just have heart ...

Yep, I do. TO make matters worse, I've got quite a lot of thin, very curly hairs. I've never felt good about my hair and tend to avoid it...

I recommend an Air Flosser/Water pik quite a lot. Just started using one, and it's pretty fantastic. :) I wish I'd got one years ago...my teeth are pretty rubbish. It does annoy me when dentists would be like "You need to floss!" and I'd try to explain I find it difficult, likely more damaging to my ...

It depends on how I'm feeling and how good the recipe is. I need to have all the right equipment too, I'm not very good at 'making do' in that respect. I find American pancakes best for flipping, as you only need a spatula. Plus, they can be really yummy with lemon and sultanas in as you fry. Nom ...
