Dyspraxia

Hi,

I've had Dyspraxia from birth, or as long as I can remember. I just wondered if anyone here has it or knows anyone who has it?

How does it affect you/them? It'll be interesting for me to compare experiences.

Cheers,

Will

I have it, find it hard with the whole hand-eye coordination jobby, but I also have a couple of other ailments so cannot determine which does what!

I have dyspraxia, although not particularly seriously. It means I have a lot of difficulty trying to read maps and my handwriting is slow and absolutely awful.

Whats the one where you keep falling over stuff?
I thought that was dyspraxia?
Or is it just the hand-eye co-ordination thing?

I was dianosed with dislexia/dispraxia,

I can't spell well, I have trouble reading analogue clocks/watches, Writing stuff down like if someone is on the phone and telling me something is a real pain, Remembering things, clumbsy.

When writing a often miss letters and go back a few words later and replace them it's really strnge to watch apparantly.

I've worked with kids who've had all of the above.

Dyspraxia, Asperghers, ADHD/ADD (which is quite real as evidenced by the difference in behaviour when not using phets, ritalin was the favoured one when I worked for social services.)

Asperghers is by far the most fascinating, the inability to interpret social cues, verbal outbursts (you get this with Dyspraxia, but its down to frustration mostly...) We have a 14 year old with Asperghers, it might not be PC to say it, but he is great fun. He can argue with a 40yo accountant who has a degree in law and make him look like a total fool.

Its part of who he is, just like I like to think I have a good sense of humour ( Neutral

) his asberghers is part of his character; his character is a class act. Thumbs Up

I worked with a young person for 3 years who had ADD (wasn't hyperactive.) It was at times frustrating, with global learning difficulties it made things much harder. We eventually got him diagnosed (took 2 years to do it.) He went on to Ritalin, (a amphetamine.) The difference in his behaviour was immediate and positive.

Our dyspraxic is now 17, known him since he was 10. He's fine, some coordination issues, he can be heavy handed. He also has the most amazing line in foul outbursts. Doesn't matter who's around, it just comes out like a torrent, usually down to frustration if he drops something or mucks up a game. But, its part of who he his, I think he's richer for it.

I don't do social work any more, used up all my patience. Rolling Eyes

That is all. Thumbs Up
