Re: How did you find out about the Dyspraxic Adults Forum?

Thank you Rufus - my brain hurts right now - I have lost count of the number of saucepans I have boiled dry today trying to cook up some Rhubarb that arrived past its best time for use - it is definitely three but I burned the pan I was cleaning with soda so that is an extra one.

Re: What are your dyspraxia symptoms

I suspect my being fatigued is mostly due to my brain over working and me trying to process all the thoughts it throws up when I am mentally active - alternatively I get stuck on one thing often not dealing with more important matters. It is really difficult to explain.

Re: How did you find out about the Dyspraxic Adults Forum?

Welcome Rufus, I agree with you- pretty much everything is affected by my dyspraxia, but I do not think all the effects are bad - I have come to think the folks we live with have it just as difficult and folks we meet, may not be able to understand us, so many avoid without saying anything out of ...

Re: where I went wrong in my last job

Ultimately the best thing I ever did regarding work and dyspraxia is to join my trade union -at times over 30 yars I was very active as a member at other times less so but when I got into difficulties with management it was advice and at times representation that saved my situation and possibly my ...

Re: DRIVING LESSONS

It is so long ago when I learned to drive - I have no advice but have seen posts in the past from driving instructors who specialise in teaching dyspraxics - were I starting out now I think I would search the forums and tr to find recent learners in my area (Essex, UK) and ask who taught them. I ...

Re: How did you find out about the Dyspraxic Adults Forum?

Oh welcome Edward99 Sorry not to have noticed your post sooner. In 1999 my daughter then 18 came home from college and told us she had been assessed as dyslexic and the assessor - I presume an educational psychologist said she was also dyspraxic. I researched and found I am to. having read Amanda ...
