Dyspraxic Adults

Hi and welcome

Hi Tom

Welcome.
Provision of and access to assessment is woeful for adults.

If your able to afford it a private assessment is an option.
Advice on potential avenues is variable dependent on circumstances.

I appear to be a textbook example of the syndrome but I don't think apart from dyscalcia I have any other specific learning difficulties. Formal diagnosis is expensive to obtain , but a lot of problems I have had in my life ...

Hi Austtin Welcome. It can take a while to process the diagnosis and what it means and who and when to mention to others. Quite a lot of dyspraxics are creative and some do their craft for work. Some dyspraxics have ADHD or traits that you'd commonly identified with being ADHD but not necessarily ...

Equally some people we will encounter are adept at being disingenuous and/or manipulative. We often ...

Must confess I'm not a fan of my own voice either and AI can be like speaking to someone with a hearing impairment. I'm not sure thought to text would be safe for work or anywhere for myself!

Learning to be more patient with and kind to ourselves is not always easy.

Hi Welcome to the Forum. Have you tried text to speech and/or possibly used an AI app to help you tidy up what you've input. As to feeling less bad, that you have both a dyspraxic and a Dyslexic goblin doing their worst, you can try to learn to.be kinder to and more patient with yourself. Sometimes ...

Hi Sarah

Sorry to hear but glad you feel optimistic about next time.
