Re: Does anyone else break zips and tangle up earphones?
Now again I get my Zip caught in the teeth. I dont have to worry about earphones as I dont listen to music when I out and about I prefer to kick my eyes on the road and look out for people trying to chat me up.

Re: Losing jobs.
All the jobs I have had so far have been via employment agencies, I had a 30 day work prep which my Disability job centre advisor arranged at a company but a spell with one of the government schemes (new deal) which the charity had too many people sent to them and he just kept sending us home. I las...

I am okay catching th...

Re: Eating Spaghetti
I tend to avoid anything messy
Even though my Dad is not dyspraxic if he eats spaghetti, shepards pie, curry he does not tend to bother with the knife much, just a fork.

Re: Prom experiences please?
I never had to face this problem, as our year group doing GCSE years ago never had a prom evening (thank goodness) dont think I was one of the most popular students in the year group. The closest thing was the GCSE certifcate evening in December 2000 and possibly was the final chance our the year gr...

Re: I wear out shoes really quickly?
I also tend to wear them out quite a lot, with how I walk. I sometimes blame the pavements and the gravel. I tend to go for cheaper pairs of trainers like no more than £15 per pair. shoes last me a lot longer as I only where them rarely like the captain night on the cruise and during the evenings.

Interesting thread. I have never lasted long than 3 months in a job at a company even though I have disclosed my disability (all jobs via employment agencies) and a placement back in 2009 which I never got much work experience as we were all sent home after 30 minutes per day, nothing to do with our...

Re: Dyspraxic struggling to find a relationship.
I have given up with finding a relationship with a female. Okay I have known people who had relationships which did not last. If I do meet someone, hopefully it will not put her off with my health condition that I dont want to risk passing my condition if we want kids if things go well in the relati...
