Dyspraxic Adults

Hi Keepgoingup2, does your boss know you have dyspraxia? if yes/no, as far as I am aware it doesn't matter. I would seek out Citizens Advice on Disability Discrimination Act. as if your boss decides enough is enough. my problem is definitely speed, as my left hand doesn't speak to my right hand, and...

yes they can type, even without good hand-eye co-ordination. I am probably four times the speed on the computer than I would be if writing this by hand. still not fast, but an awful lot better than if I was writing it. the trouble that I have found with the NHS is they can't be bothered unless somet...

a friend and I learned sign language, well spelling the alphabet while I was in College during 93 - 95, and his ex-wife was teaching me a little bit of sign language as she is Deaf. so Red is like the letter r with your finger rubbed against your cheek. but haven't done an awful lot with sign langua...

also being left handed meaning that I had to have the guitar strings changed so that they were the other way around, but my main problem was the strength that I used to pluck at was a little too hard, so the teacher learned how to change loads of strings rather quickly by the end, a couple of times ...

I learned to play the guitar when I was about 10, as the teacher was doing it in school. my main problems were spacial awareness, so things like knowing how far to move my hands, where to move my fingers without looking at them, and general things like I would be a chord to a word behind everyone el...

welcome to the forum fourseventeen19. well one thing we do know is that the spectrum for Dyspraxia is very closely linked to it's more well known brother/sister!! lol of Dyslexia. but yeah it is a similar story to what I get all the time, why are you chasing us? go see your GP if you got problems. b...

Hi Cari, Welcome to the forum, I know how you feel, as regular as clock work something remind me of my problems. I on the other hand did make life long friends, but very limited number of them. as still friends with someone I was in Primary school with, and still friends some nearly 32 years later. ...

Yes, think most of us will agree that we have had fun with Escalators in out time, the trouble is now they switch them on to go super sonic as well, like one shop I know does, so it is just safer taking the escalator. and I also find that I am worse if I stop walking as well, and think about my timi...

Welcome to the forum David, try asking your parents if they got you tested when you were younger, as I got my diagnosis in a medical report from October 86. my parents were always trying to get me tested to find out what was wrong with me. and as I didn't really care at the time, as school was going...

Welcome to the Forum Andre

Hi Nicky, I wouldn't worry about the extendable lead, the only thing you got to watch is that it doesn't go slack, my parents used to have a springer spaniel, and would have to take him out on a chock chain lead, he never learned the more you pull the tighter the lead would get around his neck. so a...

Alislovesools, The biggest thing you, and your driving instructor need to remember is relaxation, get used to the car, how quickly you can stop the car, how smoothly to pull away, get to know the car, and feel comfortable driving the car, it needs to be your super special best friend that you never ...

yeah I had one ticket the one day many years ago, as taken family to Cardiff, and parked in a car park, couldn't see any signs for Pay here, so got a parking ticket, as in a rush to get to the Courts. but if you can appeal do so, as think it is criminal for the charges, when it is only really change...

Welcome to the forum, yes I always have problems with keys etc. the only way I manage to get around it is to put my keys in a specific place all the time, so that I can find them again, the problems begin when looking for something at last minute after picking up my keys. then they vanish into thin ...
