Re: jobcentre sanctions
Your best bet would be to ask your local citizen's advice bureau or other local advice agency to advise you on this. Your local council may also have welfare rights advisers. From what I understand (I work at a money advice charity but am not a money adviser or your adviser), Curtis would need to ch...

Re: Looking for help with a school project.
I'd be interested in assisting your project by being interviewed or providing clips.

Re: Job Applications
Job applications are the absolute worst. It might be a dyspraxic thing, maybe the difficulty of breaking into a really competitive industry, could be the learning curve of polishing applications for 'career' type jobs - could be all of the above. In terms of support, if you are a recent graduate you...

Re: One of those moments
Not an injury but I recently managed a slapstick scene that I am very glad had no witnesses. Tried to make sure my flute case was safe in my bag, causing it to fall out of my bag and land on the edge of a dinner plate, catapulting the plate and my dinner onto the floor, smashing both food and plate ...

Re: New to dyspraxia
It can affect a whole range of things - I think clumsiness and terrible handwriting are the stereotypical associations but there are loads of characteristics. Not all will apply to you but I was definitely surprised when reading about it for the first time that things I just assumed were me, are com...

Re: misdiagnosed years ago
I was never misdiagnosed, but I was refused diagnosis at school and did not get a diagnosis or support for another 5 years. I don't know how helpful to you/medically accurate this is, but I find it useful to think of dyspraxia and similar conditions (other specific learning disabilities, ADHD, ASD e...

Re: Random acts of kindness
Last week, my friend and I took a train to the airport to return to the UK from Japan. A Japanese woman with good English overheard us talking about our journey, and let us know she wasn't sure if this particular train would stop at the airport, then she asked other passengers for advice in Japanese...

Re: Should I disclose to my university? Help
This is a bit of a late reply, but if I were you I would disclose, though it is absolutely your choice. I say this as someone with experience both as a student and as a university educator. Firstly, as others have said, this is absolutely you choice and there is nothing legal obliging you to tell th...

Re: Hello, and difficulties with structure!!!
Hi Alice! I graduated from my PhD (in the UK) in 2017. I really struggled with structure too, though I did mine in literature so the big structure was fairly simple - a chapter on each of my texts, plus an intro and conclusion. It was the structure within chapters I struggled with, and I ended up wr...
