Hi all,
Hope this post finds you well. About a month ago I was screened for dyslexia, which I highly suspected I had. What I didn't expect was to be diagnosed with both dyslexia and dyspraxia. This was a shock and since then, I have been googling dyspraxia relentlessly, trying to piece together which symptoms I presented throughout childhood / have now which could be put down to my dyspraxia. It feels a bit overwhelming; there's a lot of different symptoms for dyspraxia and it's hard to know which ones I have. It is also weird to be told there is an actual medical reason for a lot of my issues. I am about to go into my final year of a joint honours degree and although nothing has changed, I feel worried to start my fourth year with this diagnosis, does that make any sense?! I find comfort in the dyslexia diagnosis as I suspected it, but I don't know how to feel about the dyspraxia. Any words of wisdom on how to ace fourth year and embrace this new aspect of my life would be great
Thanks for reading!
