I only found out a week ago that I might have dyspraxia. I didn't learn to write properly until 5th grade when I started teaching myself, I learned to ride a bike in 4th grade when everyone else learned it in 1st grade, I've been taught to swim for 10 years and I still can't swim, and now I'm struggling with learning to drive. I've always heard the same sentence "what's wrong with you?" Over and over and maybe this is it.

im 20 with dyspraxia, unfortunately i never received the treatment and help needed and this had a detrimental affect on my self esteem, growing up. I was always good at sports, riding a bike, catching, etc. It was things like writing, doing buttons up, tying my shoe laces, pouring glasses of water for myself... any sort of fiddly movement i found very difficult and frustrating. which was a shame considering english was always one of my favourite subjects. teachers always praised me but just wished i had better presentation, which i really struggled with. I also struggled paying attention in lessons, my mind would wander very easily unless i was being taught something i was interested in. i also had a slight problem articulating my speech, id say 'umm, err' and pause a lot during speaking - still do now, though not as bad. i've read a lot of people with dyspraxia tend to have above average intelligence and ive been told teachers would always be baffled as what to do with me. ive been told that i had a wit and a level of intelligence that was noticeably superior to the rest of my classmates that would be on the 'special needs table' but i struggled doing things and keeping up with the 'regular children'. i think because of this i would get moved around and i really struggled to find a place where i belonged. this had a huge affect on my self esteem during my school life, especially when id get bad grades in exams. it wasnt until when i was 15 - 16 when my mum found out about dyspraxia and realised this was what i had. “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it's stupid.” just thought id type my story to see if anyone else can relate to it :)

Aaron Singh Ok... he might... but he's still your bro... :) and how you treat him and encourage him can make all the difference. Here's a rule--remind him that the disorder delays the development of things that require sequence and coordination (both of thought and of physical action) BUT delay doesn't mean never--it just means it takes LONGER and that he has to work HARDER and SMARTER to get through learning the tasks of every day life. The sooner he learns to laugh at himself and keep going the happier he's going to be. :) Let me know if I can be of any support! :)

Thank you so much for the advice. He finds it hard to do things things like doing up bottons and trying shoes. If i get him to keep practicing will it help him get better or will it just get him more fustrated. Also, this might sound a bit stupid, but im a boxer. Would it help my bro if i teach him how to box (because boxing requires coordination of the feet and hands) and i can tell him to throw punches in sequences. Will this help him or just fustrate him. Thanks

@davemarsteller8377

Well in my experience with this it will do both. :) Your brother will benefit greatly from any and all activity that help him to move his left and right sides of his body as well as upper and lower halves in a coordinated way.... and it will frustrate him to no end that he can't do it as well as you or everyone else... BUT if you make this something that you two can bond over doing together and that it isn't about perfection but about progress and SLOWLY getting better... you might find that he enjoys being with you and participating. The key is that you can't get frustrated with his lack of progress... and you can't laugh AT him (and believe me, it will be tempting!) but you MUST teach him to laugh at himself (if he isn't already good at this.) Guys at this 10-12 age who aren't good at sport already have enough folk laughing at them--you CANNOT add to this. This may require some serious man-to-man talk about how you're his brother, and you love him--and that you are so proud of how hard he works... (B/c he IS working significantly harder than folk who don't have these issues--even if it doesn't look like it!) Helping him to understand that he's wired differently--and that there are some benefits to this...(e.g. I never crawled--I just walked--and very often--I will struggle with something and struggle... and then BOOM... out of nowhere I can do it just like everyone else--often after I've taken a break from learning the skill for a week or two--suddenly--I just can.) When you go to a session, plan on working in small "spurts" (20 minutes twice a day is often better than 40 minutes all together!) taking a break from something that is frustrating is not QUITTING... as long as you come back to it later. :) BUT what you need to realize is that his learning curve (time/repeated practice of the skill) that it will take for him to learn this will be significantly (3 to 4x's) longer than other people--even those who are younger than he. The idea here is that patience is important. ALSO lots of complex, fast moves will lose him--so... start with teaching individual skills (e.g. this is a jab, let's practice it... this is a hook, let's practice it...etc.... this is how we move our feet in this situation this is how we do it in that situation... teach the skills individually and then VERY VERY SLOWLY connect them together. You can also teach him to practice the skills in slow motion at first--form over function at first--then he'll be able to speed things up... but the idea typically is to break things down into their SMALLEST parts FIRST and then MUCH later you'll move into combinations. The idea is that he'll be less frustrated and feel more successful the better he is able to perform what you are teaching him. (and the more positively you evaluate his effort--this does NOT mean accepting poor form or incorrect form without correction--but it does mean recognizing effort and encouraging as things do get better.

I have Dyspraxia and I need to thank you for explaining it correctly and not getting anything wrong. So, thank you.

I am a 26 year old, who's had dyspraxia for aslong as I can remember. Used to to frustrate me so much that I took longer learning easy things doing my shoe lace up & doing up my tie. But I guess you learn to live with faults like that & overcome. Must say though, I presume where listen to so much music (& write myself) have actually very good rhythm now I would say

This made me laugh so hard. All the memories of my childhood and stories from my family. I had stabilisers on my bike till I was 9 😂 god bless me trying to play any sport! And early 90s Ireland it wasn’t “Dyspraxia” it was “Clumsy Child Syndrome” and “she’ll be grand.” Yeah, no bother, don’t mind me there falling over ever 3 steps 😂 And this was diagnosed when I was about 2!! Occupational therapy? Speech therapy? Physical therapy? 1990s Ireland- “get back up on that bike till you stop falling off” 😂 and oh lord did I learn to use my mouth! I haven’t shut up in 27 years 😅 I’m glad kids these days get the help they need and deserve. Neither my dr or my parents took it seriously and I had to work so hard to overcome the problems that come with dyspraxia. Still makes for some good stories from doing gymnastics routines in front of 400 other students when ya face planked twice (at the age of 14)😝😂 Oh and I still can’t tie buttons. Seriously. I just don’t buy clothes with buttons and zippers take a good deal of time too. My writing is on point though. I have an art degree tbf, my drawing etc is fine but give me hind eye co-ordination and watch me fail. Who else has severe issues with textures? He didn’t mention that. By that’s a thing right? I have epilepsy too though and I know that can effect it.

MissPickletoes he needs coping skills. I started a grad school program in the summer, and was recently diagnosed with aspergers/autism spectrum. It was invisible my whole life, but I knew I was different. In fact I come from the Autism spectrum capital of the world (down the street from apple campus in fact, a company known for aspie pride, minus the labels), and tons of my high school classmates had aspie genes/behavior but were still typical leaning enough I was a weirdo. In order for me to continue professional development, I need some therapy and I'm going to be learning about how children with disabilities learn social skills. And things aren't all bad, I may lack some skills needed to work and teach students, but the diagnosis explains why I want to teach. I have a passion for math and patterns. I relate to children, and they to me. I'm also very good at understanding how students struggle with learning. Despite being intelligent by definition, aspies often feel like they have cobbled bits of every single learning disability. It is a problem that high school students half my age are further ahead of me socially (it's rather obvious), who knew, in having trouble getting a job because I don't party, drink or have sex.

This video and one other video I have watched have been really helpful for me to understand by dyspraxia I am 15 and I got diagnosed last year with dyspraxia and processing disorder (and Tourette’s but I was diagnosed with that a few years ago) I had always been wandering why it took me so much longer than everyone else to learn to tie my shoe laces. And I still to this could never do monkey bars or ride a bike, Also, I have terrible handwriting and this is a mix of dyspraxia, Tourette’s and I have a bit of OCD so I get very frustrated with the state of my writing so much so that I end up covering up the page with my arm so I don’t have to see it. I have always struggled with throwing and catching balls which when in PE we play a ball game everyone else gets really frustrated because I just can’t catch the ball. In primary school nobody ever passed the ball to me so I got really upset but I have better friends now so it is a bit better! Also during lessons, revising or really anything my mind always finds itself down way to wander off to then zone back in again read for at the the end of what someone is saying. It really angers me when it happens (regularly) when a teacher gives us instructions to do and I have no clue what we her to do! Today I asked my friend do you even know what dyspraxia is and she said she that she has never heard of it! I think people should be more educated in different mental disabilities!

This video provides a very clear explanation of what dyspraxia is- a lot of people seem to think that having dyspraxia just means that someone is clumsy and no good at sports but, as this video explains so well, it affects so much more than this. Whilst children can be taught strategies to help them to cope with their symptoms, it should be remembered that dyspraxia is a condition which persists into adulthood and can have a significant impact on everyday life.

Maybe you level in dyspraxia is mild. It differs from person to person.

I'm 32 and had to self diagnose and have it confirmed in adulthood by doctors. I couldn't do simple motor skill related things in youth and even today have coordination issues and other telltale signs. Always wanted to learn how to dance but I find it so incredibly difficult. Thank goodness for online info cause now I know what it is and that I'm not just uniquely messed up. Makes me feel better lol. I was diagnosed with ADHD as well but now I think it's bipolar disorder that we didn't know about. Now that I'm an adult I've been diagnosed with bipolar but when I WANT to I can concentrate.

People always say I mumble and talk quietly and I never knew this was potentially because of dyspraxia but it makes so much more sense now this video gave me a lot of clarity and helped me understand this disorder and my own self more

Thank you so much, this is a condition which needs more exposure.

The right teacher is also very important. I remember in middle school when I first tried lino and wood printmaking I thought I was terrible at it, because the strength needed to carve the drawing out, and then roll the ink out evenly was very hard for me, and my art teacher failed me because of that. But since I've started taking the art course as an adult with a teacher who has actual knowledge and experience of teaching people with things like Dyspraxia I'm amazed at what I'm creating. I now know how to hold the knife what parts of my hand and arm i need to put strength into to carve out the shape I want. The correct way to roll out the ink and spread it. And also exercises to do so the muscles in my hand and arm don't get sore and stiff the next day.

Wow at 38 I have figured out I may have dyspraxia, dyscalulcia, dyslexia and apserger's syndrome. If only they would have done more testing on me when I was a child in the 1980s my life would have been so much easier. I am already diagnosied with ADHD but I keep thinking if only they knew this when I was in school. I would have had better grades and I would have possibly moved out of my parents house earlier. I was 32 when I moved out.

I too have this condition. I am at university in my second year studying law and majorly struggling. Only one parent of mine is aware of my condition but doesnt understand the full severity of it. I had work experience and messed up all the tasks set they thought i was retarded and it made me depressed. I have very few friends and never have dated either and feel like i will never be able to have a normal life.

My dad get angry when I failed to understand him and he said that I was useless My mum said that I was slow enough to "search for Death". It is a Portuguese saying. I also hated physical education and my grades on artd and crafts were low. I even felt ashamed to eat in public because I had a hard time using cuttlery and I made a mess while eating. When I started working it was even worse because I was completely on my own and I had a very hard time addapting. Thus I was more prone to abuse from my work mates.

Vision therapy was also extremely helpful for us, to improve eye teaming and tracking.

I have dyspraxia and i had a teacher who keeps kind of like making fun of my hand writing, i wanna tell her why buy im scared. Im to anti social. A lot of my symptems i have gotten better with through doing wrestling. Like balance i have improved on (i still lack it) but when i talk i kind of stutter a little because i cant pronounce something and i need a little more time.

I snowboard and box also have been a sou chef for 6 years before COVID hit. Be proud and fight hard for what you want! Dyspraxia does not define who YOU are!! You do!!

I am a 21 year old with dyspraxia. I was always wonderful in dance because the rhythm was something that was easy and simple and actually my dyspraxia made it easier to do. However, writing, strength, body awareness and balance are my worst contenders. Sometimes writing is hard for me and I will grip the pen or pencil until my hands turn white because I dont realize how much focus I am putting into my trying to write better. I bump into things every single day and sometimes have a hard time balancing at my front desk at work if I am moving too quickly. Ive had to find my own ways around this as I got older since the last help of any kind I had, I was 11. People joke about me dropping things or how "clumsy" I am, but it isn't easy to live with. You're supposed to be an adult, you're supposed to be something different and it's been hard for me to be something that isn't constantly forgetting the smallest details or falling over without any stimulus. Everyday is a task.

So freakin relatable

Its my exam.today and thankyou so much to explain so much better...

Im 28 and i have Dyspraxia and im proud to say it, I live my life normal as much as i can.

A few of my Teachers throughout the years have suggested that I may have dyspraxia; my handwriting is horrendous and I didn’t learn to ride a bike until I was thirteen, and I tend to walk “without purpose” as my family would put it, never in a straight line. I tend to mumble a little bit and it takes effort to control my voice and be aware of my volume. I’m not entirely sure as some areas of my “symptoms” are more extreme than others so I might just be clumsy and absent-minded. Does anyone know how one would go about getting more answers in this kind of thing and going about getting a diagnosis, I think it would be helpful in being able to type future exams in university, which has helped me loads at this stage of my education.

I have Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia and some others and dejectedly I wasn't diagnosed with these. I have books on these and I have so much difficulties...

Im 21. I knew I was dyslexic since I was a child, but it wasn't until getting re tested for it a few years back that I found out I was dyspraxic as well. Didn't even know what it was. So when I found out what it was I realized why I was so clumsy. Something I didn't know however until seeing this video is that being dyspraxic can effect the way you speak. For many years I have been self-conscious of how I speak. People would often not understand what I was saying, so because of this I tend to not talk to people if I can avoid it. But now I know why this is happening after watching this video. Edit: I also have memory problems too. Mostly remembering names. This video really made me understand a lot about myself.

I'm the same 🙈 my dyspraxia is most prominent in how I speak. I know what I want to say but can never articulate it in the same way verbally as I had in my head! My memory problems are getting worse I feel. I was also diagnosed with dyslexia at the same time. I was 19 when I found out and had no help through school 🙈

@@cerihughes3742 I know some people who also didnt have help through school even though they had proven they are dyslexic. But the problem was that they where not "Dyslexic enough" to be allowed to have extra help. So when doing tests i was always allowed to have about 15 - 20 minutes more then others. But the guy I know was not given the same privilege, which I think was not ok. They should have been given the same benefits as me. Also i completely understand not being able to say what you think. I often try and explain things to people, but cant do it because I dont know how. I have had many situations such as during my driving test where this happened. I often tried to explain why I couldn't take a turn, pass a car, etc. The instucter always thought I was trying to explain why something I did wasn't my fault, when in fact it was the opposite. I tried to explain how it WAS my fault, but could never get it across. So because of these problems, I prefer to type, instead of speak to people, as i find it easier to convey my thoughts.

Had this all my life just recently realized why I felt so deferent in school was due to my memory deficits I new I was about average with intelligence levels but could never figure out why I was slower until I learned about this disorder

Hey I have dispraxia I wanted to figure out so I wat he’d this vid thx

Very interresting! I got a question and i hope i'll find an answer here! We know that autism especially asperger , dysphasia and dyspraxia impacts on speech , for example each of dysphasia and dyspraxia may influence the oral expression because of articulation's difficulties , this can lead to a developpement of a certain accent , on the other hand , people with asperger often have a strange accent even eventhow in their native language which is my case ! I mean i'm not dignosticated , not yet but i got a strange accent in my native language which seems really weird! So my question is how can we make the difference between all of them?How can we sure that's due to such disability or autism?!

how to differentiate the symptoms with ADHD in girls in 6th y.o? Any idea?

I got diagnosed with dyspraxia but my whole life I have wanted to be an artist but everything I draw look so bad I’m looking for ways to help dyspraxia so I can draw properly

Even though having a disorder of some kind can be really challenging to most other people some days including myself, being challenged by the things you struggle and have difficulties with is only the beginning about what your'e truly going to face later in life because if you don't practice or study the things that you struggle with most then you're going to fall behind in life because your'e not doing anything about how or what things you need to improve or modify so, that's why I think having disorder can sometimes be a fun and adventurous journey. "I myself diagnosed with "OCD, ADHD, and a mixed Language Disorder."

Can dyspraxia be confused or misdiagnosed with ms

My son was treated for dyspraxia at the age of 14. I'd read in the Mail at the time (I am going back 33 years now) that there was a treatment centre in Chester, so long ago now I cannot remember the name of it. They had therapists around the country and we went privately to one in Saffron Walden Essex. She said it was to do with the fact as a baby he wasn't shutting off his milestones properly and this stopped him moving on. I had a difficult birth and he was extracted with ventouse and he had a small lump on his head for some time...whether is was the cause, I do not know. One of the key markers was, he didn't crawl, he eventually walked at 18 months, but she said crawling was important they learn co-ordination and distances. He did lots of very small exercises, very slowly with her and at home for around a year. Before this treatment I doubted he would even get a job on leaving school. After the treatment he started to read books and before he couldn't swim properly, he could do his arms but not his legs after he could swim properly. At age just 17 he passed his driving test. I thank the Lord we discovered what was actually wrong, as the school never flagged up anything and so please he got the help he needed.

I am 26 and I think I have dyspraxia too because I forget everything, I have a hard time doing daily tasks... It becomes a frustration for me and I take time to do stuffs too....I can't seem to hurry up...I am clumsy when I walk, I bump unto stuffs and end up hurting myself....I fall down many times I don't know why....I cannot seem to hold something properly...And I have difficulties to focus....

I have it but I thought it was just speech now I relise most of these things affect me

You should make a video of dygrafia very important ! Or is it the same as dyspraxia

Right now with what we know I have dysxprsic tendency I'm gong yto be tezted and diagnosed to see if I actually have dyspriser

Very informative

I really don’t know if I got it I’m dyslexic and think I might be dysgraphic with dyspraxia idk I speak quickly and mess up a lot if it’s dyslexia or dyspraxia idk

Ever since I was young I’ve had horrible handwriting, balance, talking, etc and when I got diagnosed and started going to physical therapy I have been so much better with basic skills I hope dyspraxia gets talked about more due to me getting tired of explaining it to every teacher I have

I was born with mixed crebral Palsy after birth and even though I has herpes and stuff I still had problems but I'm doing the best I can through adulthood. It is a mild form it is due to premature birth however I do use walker I've been using a walker ever since 2011.

I just learned why i speak so softly and slow. I'm diagnosed with dyspraxia but I didn't know it was related

I don’t know if I have dyspraxia but I have poor hand eye coordination which might be really effecting my driving abilities to get my drivers license like parallel parking I don’t know I just know i have kept practicing my driving skills and I have failed my parking test more than 20 times and I am 19 and it’s embarrassing it really is and I don’t what to do I have really tried my best and I am only assuming that something is going wrong or that I might have an issue with hand eye coordination or dyspraxia I really don’t know but I know something is wrong.

Idk I’ve been diagnose but I only have approximately three of the symptoms

a really good way that it can be treated is get a person or kid to play video games it can be any time i personally have been playing FPS games all my life since i was 4 my first game was halo combat evolved and over time i learnt how to control it believe me do not let people tell you that you wont ever be able to write or do fine motor skills you can im currently 16 and i have noticed it more but its made me a better player and i play much better on a comp level however my balance is really bad now i stumble way too often but that might not be my dyspraxia

Sorry to hear your having such a tough time. :( I'm interested was you diagnosed with dyspraxia as a kid or was it when you was older? I was about 3 when I was diagnosed with dyspraxia. It sounds like your suffering from depression or at least some form of it... have you gone to see your doctor about it?

I'm wondering if my husband has this or something close. He's not clumsy, but he has problems with understanding basic tasks. I watched him struggle with trying to get a wrench on a bolt. I was trying to explain to him that it's a male/female joint so it has to line up to get it in, but he continued to struggle with it. He also tried using an apple slicer upside down and ended up slicing his hand because of it. I tried to teach him some basic cooking skills as well, and it seems like he can't fully grasp safety and proper form. I know when he was born, he had the cord wrapped around him, so he was blue. As a result, he has a slight stutter in his speech. He seems to not only not grasp something, but he doesn't plan the actual action. Do you think this is a sign of dyspraxia?

MegIA he has been like this forever?? I'm sure you know your husband best, but honestly you sound a lot like my mom so I think lots of marriages sound like this (but don't let me discount you're real thoughts. Like I said he's your husband). I think you're going to need to be more specific. When I was born my mom was depressed (like women do after giving birth from time to time), and she needed my dad to stir fry some vegetables for dinner and she said his stupidity made her meltdown depressed. Eventually we kind of learned that it's because my mom does EVERYTHING for him so some things are dumb like picking out clothes, cooking food, buttoning shirts putting in socks. He can take care of himself. He learned how to cook so we know he can so mom can cook out of joy in her heart again. But for frame of reference, me, my father and grandfather are all on Autism Spectrum, so women are still wondering what the hell is wrong with all the men?!?! Since we are Asian and my parents don't really have the language to talk about ASDs, my mom just thinks it's normal for men to be rude, incapable and rigid, but smart, focused and loyal. My dad talked to me about women for the first time a month ago. I'm 29... he didn't have good advice. He said he couldn't figure out why "this woman (mom) was so easily offended".

RV3N check all of his videos you may find interesting stuff. Self diagnosis is weird. I'm self diagnosed ASD, but I wouldn't have if a special education professor hadn't asked if I'm an aspie. Like I know it exists, but there's no way I have it. My father would have said something. Or my grandpa. All three of us are on spectrum now. They don't speak English primarily so they have different words to describe it, one time a lady said "hey you have insomnia because you have the experiment obsession type personality" in mandarin. All I'm saying is maybe you'll find a label maybe not but people have been ignoring and coping with their learning disabilities and mental health issues. My hard diagnosis begins today, but I'm a bit old for diagnosis.

I have dyspraxia I fall about once a month I’m seeing a neurologist soon and I’m pretty much normal I was in special Ed through high school but I was able to get a regents diploma yay 😁 I’m good as far as I’m concerned I’m really lucky

I'm 35 with learning disabilities, this sounds like me tho I'm not sure. My writing was terrible as a kid and is still pretty bad now I'm definitely uncoordinated. And I had problems with strength in my hands. Difficulty completing tasks ...I think I have all of them.

I suffer from Dyspraxia it hurts when people bully you and being told by a person that it’s good I am disabled.

Nobody here in the states knows what dyspraxia is besides specialists. I actually didn't know I had it until I was an adult going through old cassettes & found a recording from a speech therapist. Somehow this info didn't get to my evil parochial school teachers. I had to drop out and now I'm stuck in a rut. 🤷‍♂️

My son regressed into autism at 3 and now his speech is coming back, but he has a hard time to articulate now

Can’t hold my pen right and so what if I hold my knife and fork in the wrong order it feels right

i'd suggest just practising a LOT and ask teacher's if there's a special class that you can do that help's with handwriting and speech and do balance exercises to help some coordination but like the saying goes practice make's perfect and to constantly look at your surrounding's to help in other problem's like bumping in to other's and keep focus on where your feet are so the don't go everywhere

I defiantly have Dyspraxia and I'm 20 now. I never learned how to ride a bike my balance is terrible and my handwriting is terrible I talk to quiet and I sometimes drop things because i don't grab them tight enough. I wonder why my teachers never noticed all they did was put me in recourse or extra help classes that they could that I always knew I didn't need but never tried to figure out what I had I guess they thought if I put her in all these classes I guess one of them will help her.

very common for dyspraxia not to be able to ride a bike, I think its to do with the balance

I have been diagnosed at 21, a bit late, but a lot of confusion has been solved. With this knowledge I could have saved embarrassment in dance classes. But what is interesting is I can move my body to a beat very well, like freestyle dancing, it comes naturally, but when it comes to following steps I'm hopeless. This may be because of another symptom of my dyspraxia being that I'm hyper-sensitive to sound. I am interested how Dyspraxia could benefit me in other ways, rather than seeing it as solely limiting. For example at the moment I'm learning instruments in hopes of turning my dyspraxia into a gift.

Sofie Redfern have you looked in autism spectrum? It has co morbidity with dyspraxia, and might explain your affinity to music. It also manifests extremely differently in girls and women so you might have spent your life being skilled at socializing but it's still good to look into.

My son was diagnosed with it in 1991. 1 year after it was officially recognised by the medical profession.

IIdrippingII I'm beginning the process of being diagnosed for ASD. It kinda feels like I have a ton of learning disabilities, but none of them are complete. Like hyperactive but no attention deficiency. Dysgrafia, but only in motor skill, not writing ability (though my grammar is messed up too immigrant family background), a hell of a lot of parts of OCD, dyscalcula (only math major with it), even some slight Tourette's type symptoms (they say epilepsy is co morbid with ASD along with that motor issue), which goes straight to motor issues! As someone with ASD, I think our dyspraxia is at a very similar status (of having parts of problems). I'm horribly non athletic, but I'm capable of cutting/building/sewing. I think it compares fine and gross motor skills or something. I was ok ish at sports but it went straight to hell in high school. Clumsy. Can't catch. Get hit a lot. Fall on my ass playing hackey sack. For people with ASD solo sports is the game to play. Golfing, marksman, running?? I've heard aspies can be phenomenal runners but it's so much cardio. The cool thing about this is that I wouldn't change anything about me, and neither should you!

What is the difference between dyspraxia and executive functioning ? It seems to me both have these symptoms... I am autistic...I had the worst treatment- a shrink...I should have had occupational therapy because I havery little sense of body.

I think it’s cause dyspraxia focuses on motor skills and the ability to know how your going to do something. Adhd focuses on hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity. ASD focuses on difficulty with social interaction and restricted interests and repetitive behaviors. But they all are very comorbid. Like for example 50-70% of people with asd also have adhd. And 89% of people who have adhd also have dyspraxia. If you have adhd and you see yourself struggling with problems related to dyspraxia Theres a high chance you have it. Same for if you have adhd and struggle with asd like symptoms . The symptoms for them are “similar” but in reality you likely just have both. But I’m not a doctor I’m just someone whose diagnosed with AuDHD, and have been researching these topics online for a couple of months.
