Dyspraxic Adults

I recall reading somewhere that a new All Party Parliamentary Group is being established in the UK Parliament to focus on issues related to dyspraxia/DCD I wanted to post a comment about this issue in the magazine and first searched the magzine using the worf "Parliament" and got a nil ret...

I was born in December 1948. I was very outgoing in my youth and belonged to whatever social group was available to me at most stages of life until five or ten years ago and usually was active in more groups than I could cope with at any one time. As a teenager I was drawn to the Christian Religion,...

I am sorry - but giving up a job without another to start - can end up being more problematic than sticking with a horrible job.

I wish I could help.

I should also have said - if feeling hopeless despair please contact the Samaritans - sorry for my oversight - it really can help

Thanks for posting - I fear not too many may see this. I have not sat a written examination since 1972 - that I can remember and I was decades away from discovering I had dyspraxia. Over the years - though - I have written - lots and lots of professional reports - the time management thing was harde...

Thanks for posting, Sharing how low we can get can actually help others, sometimes we might even help ourselves. I certainly do get that low and still think of suicide sometimes, but not actively anymore. Professionally over many years I did much work, with those who had attempted or threatened suic...

I am glad it worked out but the situation is very variable with lots of uncertainty.

I hope so.

That is really good - it is cheering to here such happiness - please tell us how you get on.

Yes - I am beaten by it and need a solution

Is there such a thing as dyspraxic burnout? I mean like there is for autistic people - Aspie burnout. I'm getting dyspraxia symptoms that I've never had before. I do not like the term "burnout" although it does probably describe what happened to me when I was at work - I think after nearl...

Welcome Annievh - I believe NOT driving is a positive thing - if you can manage your life without doing so. I regret that back in the 1960s when I got the habit of driving I had not learned that it is more important for a nation and the environment top have good public transport than facilities for ...

Yes - same with me - learning to accept that calmly is a lifelong challenge for me.

I have found trying to get a dyspraxia assessment thru the doctors horrendous. I was referred to go to my GP by my college but I have waited an age for an assessment this way but my cousin is a GP and he said GPs regularly don’t put people thru for a medical referral as the consultants would be inu...
