I know the employment rate for asperger syndrome is 15% full time, 6 % part time. I think the employment rate for dyspraxic people is low. I get tired easily. I do not like commuting to London from Surrey. I feel that the support for dyspraxia is poor. It would be interesting to know if dyspraxia l...

Hi Spoon,

Congrats on graduating to Dyspraxic Adults, as it were. Hope you can arrange some support for work. I'm currently speaking the diversity person at my work to get some assistance in my job. Keep us uptodate with how it goes.

Used to sleep a lot in the past - especially at Uni, but these days I struggle to sleep in. I need my 8 hours but I seldom sleep much longer than this.

Hi David, Welcome to the forum. It's good to hear that things can work out. Sounds like you're taking a good, positive attitude towards everything you come up against, which I know is something I need to keep trying to do.

Hi Brad, Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum! Great to know you're not alone isn't it?

However it's taken no amount of trial and error in jobs that's didn't nearly stretch me enough to get there. Looking ba...

We got a Wii fit for Xmas and have been using it regularly. Although I find a number of activities very tough at first - especially the coordination and balance ones - which is a good number - I've started to improve and am getting better with practice. Doing Steps is still the toughy for me, though!

As an additional note, please avoid cross-posting the same message in different parts of the forum. I've removed the same post from the relationships section. Thanks.

I can certainly see elements of that in myself, although as I've got used to the traits of dyspraxia I learn to try to keep them in check and prevent things building up so that I snap. However dyspraxia is a variable thing and your other half's dyspraxia may well be more severe than my own. I think ...

I passed in a manual however never felt very confident with the starting and stopping. Following a break from driving I've now bought an automatic to ease getting back into it. May or may not move back to a manual in the future but automatic is doing it for me at present.

Watched Miranda - was entertaining - but it's not overtly about dyspraxia is it?

Hi Andrew,
