Where are you in the birth order?

[Ems]

Im the oldest and I have a younger sister.

I have dyspraxia, dyslexia and hypermobility syndrome. My sister also has dyslexia and hypermobility but is very well coordinated.

A lot of firstborns. I'm the eldest too. I've heard it's thought we're more intelligent.

Neither of us has been assessed, but I have signs of dyspraxia and my only sister, dyslexia. Both disorders are linked to fatty acid imbalance, which would make sense as my mum didn't eat oily fish or algae supplements when she was pregnant (or ever), and had post-natal depression after my sister's birth, which research suggests is the result of DHA omega 3 deficiency worsened by pregnancy.

I'm the oldest of 3. I seem to have dyspraxia. Not sure about the others.

We have 2 daughters. The eldest, I'm guessing has it too. She's only 3 so I'd rather consult the experts and not diagnose her myself. But she's the only person I've ever met who is like me.

Girl 2 is "normal".

Eldest of two. Never understood myself when growing up as both my parents and my younger sister were all fantastically coordinated athletes. Granted, my parents were athletes in high school but still clearly well coordinated as adults.

didn't help that my whole family is super-intelligent so even my own intelligence didn't seem to count for much. Oh well.
