DATES....Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hi, Does anyone else struggle with dates? The more appointments I get the more muddled I get. At present I am trying to sort things out in March and have a few things happening on the same date. Other dates keep getting changed and I'm feeling totally frazzled. I am bad with dates at the best of tim...

Re: Exercise

Hi, What about dancing? Great fun, you meet lots of peolpe, have a laugh and you exercise at the same time. Well worth trying. If you are worried about going wrong, going in the wrong direction and all the rest of it, don't be. Half the people in dance class feel the same and they go week in week ou...

Re: Reading and remembering facts from textbook?

I don't remember what I have read so studying for me is really really difficult. I too would love to hear from anyone who has a way of tackling this. I am thinking about studying again but am put off by not remembering what I'm reading...lots of other issues as well. Oh, and I'm classed as a mature ...

Re: So glad Ive found you

HI Wendy, I'm always getting told off at work. Its a miricle that I get anything right! Don't worry about travel - a SatNav will be your life saver. Its unfair of your boss to put undue presure on you. I got diagnosed last year and paid for the test myself. I found my assessor on the internet and em...

Re: Why are we messy? How to be tidy?

Its not just at home that i am messy. My desk at work is like a war zone. I have tried to keep it tidy but figure its not possible. I am forever trying to keep the house tidy and some day's I'm really good but generally I find house work really daunting. Oh, to have a cleaner, wouldn't that be bliss...

Re: Newby

:) HI, I too was diagnosed as Dyspraxic last year when I was 50. It all made sense but I was annoyed that its taken all these years for someone to help and diagnose me. I spent my childhood assuming I was thick as I couldn't always understand school - I never fitted in and was in the dunce class for...
